    Good, solid win as expected and glad to keep back-to-back clean sheets, as they've been rare to come by this season.

    My only concern is our dire lack of efficiency in front of of goal. 22 shots and 2 goals isn't really good enough, and we need to be more clinical when we face other teams, but I suppose Palace were defending deep in numbers and made it difficult for us to get any proper shots away.

    I was impressed with our width today because our fullback-winger combinations worked to great effect and we stretched them a lot, but I didn't feel we put enough crosses into the box to work to Giroud's strengths albeit his movement wasn't that great.

    Glad that Iwobi got on the scoresheet because he's had a mixed season so far and it can't help having been dropped a few times this season, but none of our wingers have a guaranteed starting place so hopefully he can gather some consistency from now onwards.

    Off to Bournemouth we go, let's get another 3 points!
