A flying start was not enough to secure three points as we lost further ground in the Premier League.
Goals from each of our centre backs in the space of 106 seconds had given us a solid foundation to go on and win this game.
Sokratis - marking his 50th appearance - thumped in the first after Palace failed to clear Pepe's corner. And David Luiz converted the second from close range after another Pepe corner was headed on by Alex Lacazette.
We didn't create that much in open play but we looked pretty secure until the match turned on a VAR decision.
