Catch-up on everything you missed from Palace’s Watford storm

Goals came through Jean-Philippe Mateta, Conor Gallagher and Wilfried Zaha (two) to make Moussa Sissoko’s first-half header just a consolation.

The Palace fans at Vicarage Road made themselves heard, but if you couldn’t make the game, brush up on all the key moments below.

THE REACTION

Close friends and cross-club – even international – teammates Marc Guéhi and Conor Gallagher gave the interview of the night, assessing each other’s successes and rating their performances.

While Gallagher awarded a constructive nine out of 10 to Guéhi, who captained the side for the first time, the centre-back handed his teammate 9.5 – the extra half for a sensational strike.

DID YOU NOTICE?

The touches. Two sensational, deft moments from Michael Olise and Gallagher to provide Palace’s first two goals.

Olise’s was an aware one-touch pass into Gallagher’s path before the No.23 set-up Mateta’s opener.

Gallagher then went one better to control a Tyrick Mitchell cross in the box, bringing the ball down and moving it seamlessly into space before firing into the net.
