In the week that Giovanni Leoni looked excellent against Southampton but was then cruelly stretchered off, Ibrahima Konate was all over the show as he took on Jean-Philippe Mateta at Selhurst Park, and Marc Guehi quietly impressed. Konate emerged from the second half with some credit as he restored some composure to his performance, but he was frankly fortunate to emerge after the interval.
