Dean Henderson: No chance for Manchester City’s goals but demonstrated his quality with a fine save early on from Anderson, then others from Semenyo and Cherki. 7
Jaydee Convot: Did nothing wrong but ultimately Palace had no answer to Cherki. 6
Chris Richards: Good battle with Haaland. Should have scored with a first-half header. 6
Takehiro Tomiyasu: Solid as usual and will bring experience to the Palace ranks. 6
Anan Khalaili: No lack of effort or energy but short of end product. 6
Daichi Kamada: Busy in midfield as always but struggled to exert influence. 5
Adam Wharton: Class act. Composure, vision and a superb range of passing. At the heart of Palace’s good things. 7
Tyrick Mitchell: Tenacious and quick but missed a big chance to equalise with a header in the first half. 6
Eddie Nketiah: Lively early on, forcing a save from Donnarumma, but wasted a crucial opportunity early in the second half.
Yeremy Pino: Can be a mixed bag but offers real threat, as he showed with his splendid free-kick that went down as a Donnarumma own goal. 6
Jorgen Strand Larsen: Worked hard but lost the physical battle with Dias. Had one first-half chance but failed to convert. 5
