They played with all the traits they have become renowned for under Marcelo Bielsa. They pressed with intent, attacked with gusto and, were it not for a touch of imprecision, what turned out to be a straightforward victory could have been something of a procession against a Palace side whose struggles without Wilfried Zaha continue.
