Match-Winning Goal

Following weathering a chaotic situation where Zirkzee almost scored again at the wrong end, their situation enhanced moments after while Zirkzee was brought down on the edge of Palace's box by Marc Guéhi.

A temporary uncertainty developed within the barrier as the captain passed the free-kick to Mount enabling the Englishman to defeat the goalkeeper via a strong shot.
