On the first matchday that the Premier League launched their ‘No Room For Racism’ campaign, the game against Huddersfield Town was also one that the Eagles knew there was no room for error in.
The opening 10 minutes saw much of the game bogged down in the middle of the pitch, with neither team really able to get a strong foothold on the match.
Wilfried Zaha was looking to stretch the Terriers’ defensive line whenever the Eagles gained possession around the centre-circle but a couple of shrewd interceptions from Huddersfield captain, Christopher Schindler, stopped Wilf in his tracks.
