Palace struck the post early in the match via Patrick van Aanholt and, at the other end of the pitch, Vicente Guaita was forced into a handful of impressive stops.
Christian Benteke netted on his 100th Premier League appearance for Palace and the Belgian almost made it two when Jordan Pickford denied him masterfully.
Alongside Benteke, Wilfried Zaha and Jordan Ayew appeared sharp and promising and their surges forward - especially as the second-half opened - are well worth the watch.
