Crystal Palace vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Sarr had a great chance to bring the ball forward as he ran towards the edge of the box. It looked like he got caught in two minds and then got the ball stuck under his feet.

The game has gone into a rather calm state, as both sides are knocking the ball around when they have it. This will favour Southampton.

Southampton haven’t gone as defensive as expected after that opener. They are still trying to get the ball forward when they can, and they are keeping Palace at bay so far.

It is a very puzzling situation that this Palace side find themselves in as we head into the new year. They have bags of quality, as shown at the end of last season, but they can’t seem to get going properly as of late.

How will Palace respond now!? They had been on top for the whole game up until that point, and they need to respond quickly before Southampton shut up shop!

Goal Tyler-Jay Robert Dibling

You can clearly see a difference in this Southampton team already, as they are taking far less risks than before. The passing inside their half is confident, and when there is danger the ball is cleared before it can develop.

Palace are turning up the heat now as we pass the 10-minute mark. They have had a number of promising opportunities that have turned into half-chances, and they’re closest to the opener as things stand.

CHANCE! Palace go close through Eze again. Mateta pounced on a loose ball before bearing down on goal, but he opted to pass to his attacking counterpart instead of shooting. Eze hit the shot straight away, but it was right at Ramsdale.

Sarr tried a shot from inside his own half, after seeing Ramsdale off his line. There are no prizes for guessing whether the shot went in or not, though.
