# Crystal Palace player ratings: Southampton (H)

Crystal Palace suffered a third defeat on the bounce as the Eagles lost 2-0 to Southampton at Selhurst Park.

Without Wilfried Zaha, Palace really struggled.

Palace had several good chances, but were simply not clinical enough compared to Southampton who took their chances.

After a goalless first half, Danny Ings opened the scoring just after the break. Southampton would wrap up all three points at the death, with Pierre-Emile Hojbgerg finishing off a counter attack to win the game for the Saints.

Wayne Hennessey would save a Southampton penalty, but Palace could not take advantage by grabbing a goal.

Palace will be disappointed, as their poor start to the season continues.

Here’s how we rated the Eagles after another defeat.
