A number of Crystal Palace fans have praised Andros Townsend for his performance in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League.
It did appear that Palace would be snatching a point against the Reds when Townsend provided the assist for Wilfried Zaha to level the scores in the 82nd minute.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s side had other ideas, scoring a second through Roberto Firmino in the 85th minute to collect yet another three points.
The Palace fans will never be happy with a defeat, but many were pleased with the performance of Townsend against the Premier League leaders.
According to WhoScored, as well as providing an assist, the Englishman boasted a pass success rate of 92%, whilst he had two shots and completed four successful dribbles during his 90 minutes on the field.

Townsend was on the wrong end of the final result, but his performance certainly made a positive impression on the home fans.
