Player Ratings: Swansea City 1-1 Crystal Palace

Sports Mole picks apart the individual performances during the 1-1 draw between Swansea City and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Two goals within the first 25 minutes saw Swansea City and Crystal Palace play out a 1-1 draw at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.

Wilfried Bony's sixth goal in seven league games gave the home side the lead after just 15 minutes.

Ten minutes later, Mile Jedinak equalised from the penalty spot to ensure that Neil Warnock's side travelled back to London with a point.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at the players involved today.

SWANSEA CITY

Goal

Lukasz Fabianski: Guessed wrongly when facing Jedinak's strong penalty, but made a superb stop from Chamakh shortly after. Rarely troubled after the break. (6/10)

Defence

Neil Taylor: Bombed forward whenever possible, claiming for a penalty when the game was still goalless. Did not combine as well with Montero as he has previously. (6/10)

Kyle Bartley: A little clumsy both with and without the ball, the ex-Arsenal defender displayed traits which suggest he will merely be used as defensive cover for injuries. (5/10)

Ashley Williams: As solid as usual, proving too strong for Gayle, Chamakh or Campbell, who all battled against him directly at some stage. A comfortable day's work. (6/10)

Angel Rangel: Similar to Williams, although slightly less assured. Made one excellent block when Bolasie shaped to shoot. (6/10)

Midfield

Ki Sung-Yueng: Quietly effective as usual, the midfielder kept things ticking from his deep role. Displayed his excellent range of passing, as he often does. (6/10)

Jonjo Shelvey: Involved in two big moments in the match, although neither will be remembered fondly. After conceding a penalty, he then missed a good chance to put the Swans back in front. A bad day. (5/10)

Jefferson Montero: Lively early on before taking a kick from Puncheon which seemed to have an impact. Still caused the Palace full-backs the odd scare, but not as often as usual. (5/10)

Wayne Routledge: Quiet on his return to the side. Had one inviting opportunity which he squandered with a weak hit into Speroni's arms when he really should have done better. (5/10)

Gylfi Sigurdsson: Involved in everything positive that the home side produced, the Icelandic midfield set up Bony for the goal and went close himself on two occasions. A solid display. (8/10)

Attack

Wilfried Bony: Converted excellently on 15 minutes, turning and striking low past the keeper. Drifted out of the game after the break. (6/10)

Substitutes

Modou Barrow: On for Routledge after 65 minutes, the nippy winger rarely saw the ball as Swansea preferred to attack down the left. (5/10)

Bafetimbi Gomis: Replaced Bony with 15 minutes remaining, the forward struggled to see much action, with most crosses too high for him to get on to. (5/10)

CRYSTAL PALACE

Goal

Julian Speroni: Had little chance with Bony's opener. Difficult to remember any crucial stops he made, doing what was required, if nothing spectacular. (6/10)

Defence

Joel Ward: Took a number of lovely corners, the second of which led to Palace earning their penalty. Supported when able, snuffing out Montero well defensively. (6/10)

Brede Hangeland: Sloppy in possession but a force in the air, a necessity when facing the likes of Bony and Gomis. An okay performance, but nothing more. (6/10)

Scott Dann: Did well again at the heart of the defence, shutting down Sigurdsson well at least once, as the midfielder tried to carve out an opening. (6/10)

Martin Kelly: Dealt with the threat from the wings comfortably and tucked in well centrally when required. (6/10)

Midfield

Jason Puncheon: A quiet display from the midfielder, who is not enjoying his best run of form. Offered surprisingly little in attacking areas. (5/10)

Mile Jedinak: Scored the penalty which secured the point, the skipper was a driving force in the middle as Palace looked to go forward once level. (7/10)

Yannick Bolasie: Arguably Palace's best player, the tricky winger struck one excellent shot in Fabianski's direction before the break. Tired during the second half. (7/10)

Joe Ledley: Did the simple things well, with few moments of real inspiration. Worked hard to ensure that Shelvey had a poor afternoon. (6/10)

Attack

Dwight Gayle: Off within the first 20 minutes after receiving a dead leg during a challenge with Williams. (5/10)

Maroaune Chamakh: Began deeper before being forced up top thanks to Gayle's injury, the Moroccan held the ball up well to bring teammates into the game. Won the penalty, being felled by Shelvey. (6/10)

Substitutes

James McArthur: Covered a lot of ground, proving to be a positive change in place of Gayle. Booked for a cynical foul on Barrow, but one which helped out his team as the speedster tried to break. (6/10)

Frazier Campbell: Ineffective late on having replaced Chamakh. His only chance to impose himself saw him outmuscled by the brute that is Williams. (5/10)

Wilfried Zaha: Given ten minutes at the end of the game, but made little impact. (5/10)
