First half

2: Ince is unmarked in the area, but he can’t any power behind the first time shot. First effort on target for Town.

19: Lossl tries to trap the ball and it rolls under his foot... but he scrambles back to clear before Benteke was on the scene.

20: Mooy clatters Milivojevic in midfield and the ball breaks for Ince - his cross is nodded out to Billing on the edge of the area who smashes a shot straight at Hennessey.

24: Goal! Joel Ward diverts the ball into his own net for Town's first ever Premier League goal.

26: A thumping header from Mounie doubles Town’s lead!

29: Lossl picks out Ince with a long ball and he’s through on goal - great recovering tackle from Dann.

37: Zaha breaks through the Town defence, but Lossl denies him with a sensational save off his foot.

45+1: Quality goal-saving tackle by Smith to deny Zaha.

Second half

48: Great hit from Lowe from range and Hennessey palms it into the path of Mounie who smashes the rebound over.

50: Townsend (on for MIlivojevic) rolls a dangerous ball across Town’s box, but no Palace player can convert.

55: What a save from Lossl to deny Benteke from a corner.
