Good result

Too little too late though I think

Nice to see 3 points though and prove we can actually compete when we put our minds to it 

[OutByEaster?]

Benteke and Konsa had fallen out in the added time and Benteke was pointing at the tunnel for a traditional sort out - I wonder what happened?

I voted to be added as motm, 50/50 though with him and to be added

[MikeAVFC]

**** hell lads, talk about playing with emotions. All of a sudden I have hope again

Sky have no interest in it, immediately into the Spurs game after our final whistle

They just showed the incident. Benteke kicked at Konsa.

[Mantis]

Surprised at how well we played. Keep it up please.

Benteke swung and missed...

That's the spirit! We are back in it!! Fully deserved win and marginals went our way this time.

Not concerned with where it takes us, rather it was lovely to see the fight combined with a bit of belief back in the team!

This defence is the one i want to see till the end of the season, the difference in Mings especially is amazing! Just having a bit of pace next to him so he can do the clean up job makes wonders, but having a keeper to keep him on his toes turns him into a different player. Konsa is a central defender, its not his game to offer support on an overlap, what he does posses we were sorely lacking in central defence...pace! These 2 injuries today may have  resulted on us stumbling onto something good!

Luis was again the difference, he really is turning into a decent player. Always had the class but he just seems to have stepped up in turns of raw effort; Well done sir!

Kudos must also go to the goal scorer, Tresaguet goals were simply vital to this team. You could see the lift it gave the whole team when that second went in.

Lastly it was lovely to get the result despite Jack not having to play at 100%. The media will have to think of a new headline for this one!

Hardly surprising though - had to get out of Konsa's pocket somehow.

Can we play teams on holiday every week?

Suprised Trez wasn't included but to be added did a lot of the work you don't see I suppose.

[Khizzy]

Imagine we if we didn't have to play United and Liverpool back to back and had to play two teams as bad as Palace - we'd probably be safe by now.

Trez MotM, Elmo great, many other positives, but Jack was still terrible.

And I really don't want to start hoping again. I won't.

Completely disagree. Worked hard, looked for the ball all day, held it up, carried it, linked play

Everton on Thursday. Nothing to play for and out of form 

[Wainy316]

Has Trezeguet putting in a MOTM display broke the poll?

[villa4europe]

Surprised I thought I was the only one who voted very poor for the ref

The sakho one is outrageous and so is Jack's dive, VAR **** up for them and something the ref should never be getting wrong that VAR got right for us
