A challenging run of results was brought to an abrupt end in Palace's final match of 2023 as goals from Michael Olise (two) and Ebere Eze crowned a top-class performance from the boys in red and blue.
The Eagles were impressive to a man in their eventual victory, with top performances all over the pitch.
But it was the Palace No. 7 who netted his first-ever Premier League brace in the victory – a stylish close-range volley from Jordan Ayew’s in-swinging cross, and a slaloming run matched by a cute finish – to set his team on the way to victory.
Olise’s performance was simply outstanding in all aspects, producing more successful dribbles (five) and shots on target (three) than any other player on the pitch, and the most completed passes (54) of all his teammates.
