Scott Dann has described Cheikhou Kouyate as a ‘top player’ after Crystal Palace secured a 1-0 win over Southampton on the opening day of the 2020-21 Premier League season.
The Eagles finished the previous campaign on a sour note with a winless run in their final eight games, seven of them ending in defeat.
They were, however, keen to place it behind them and bagged all three points thanks to Wilfried Zaha’s 13th-minute goal which was his 60th goal involvement (37 goals, 27 assists) for the south London side in the top-flight.
