# Southampton 1-2 Crystal Palace – Match Ratings

Crystal Palace were the latest team to put an extremely vulnerable Southampton side to the sword as the Eagles strolled to a comfortable 2-1 victory at St. Mary’s thanks to goals from Joel Ward and Wilfried Zaha cancelling out Oriol Romeu’s equaliser.

The victory for Palace sent Southampton out of the FA Cup, leaving them with not a lot to play for this season, with surviving relegation being the main priority at this moment for Ronald Koeman.

Here is how I rated Southampton’s players in their 2-1 defeat.
