Weale - 5. At first sight appeared to be at fault for number two. Composed and reasonably safe pair of hands though.
Neilson - 6. Best game in a City shirt, capped by a superb cross for the first.
Morrison - 4. Dropped a horrendous bollock for the first and had a torrid first half alongside Hobbs but eventually recovered well.
Hobbs - 4. Poor game for last season's player of the year. All at sea for Palace's third, misplaced several passes and looked off the pace. Woke up after the break.
Berner - 5. Didn't make the tackle he should have for the third. Improved second half.
N'Guessan - 4. Never got going.
King - 7. As always, did his best Took his header well.
Oakley - 6. Rescued the defence more than once.
Dyer - 7. City's best player, looked dangerous. Needs to take a better corner.
Fryatt - 4. Marked out of the game, didn't have much chance to affect anything. The few chances he had, he lost possession.
Campbell - 6. Took his goal well, looked lively.
Wellens - 5. Didn't get chance to do much but what he did he got right.
Howard - 5. Good ball for Campbell's goal, looked good.
