Adam Wharton was perhaps fortunate not be given his marching orders when he appeared to kick out at Muniz just minutes after picking up a yellow card.

The England man, who scored his first senior international goal on Monday, cut inside and bent a sumptuous strike into the far corner to give Palace the lead.

The Eagles were soaring. Less than five minutes after putting his side in front, Eze again had the ball on the left. This time the Palace number 10 turned provider, delivering a teasing cross which was met by the head of Sarr to double the south Londoner’s advantage.
