Crystal Palace, 4-1 winners on Sunday, dominated in a performance of clinical precision that was made all the easier by a lacklustre Stoke City side overrun in midfield and defence.
Positives
Palace secured their second win in a row for the first time since December 2015 with a performance that showed verve, tenacity and drive -- the kind that fans have been longing for. At the heart of their dominance was the relentless James McArthur, flanked by the equally impressive Jason Puncheon and Joe Ledley.
Negatives
James Tomkins, who marked his home debut with a goal, suffered a knee injury at half time.
