EPL: C Palace 2-0 West Brom

Wilfried Zaha celebrates after giving Crystal Palace the lead against West Brom.

Crystal Palace finish the Premier League season in 11th after easing past West Brom in a 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park.

Palace finish the season unbeaten in their last six matches as second-half strikes from Wilfried Zaha and Patrick van Aanholt helped the hosts to a deserved three points against Darren Moore's side.

After a scrappy first half, Zaha broke the deadlock in the 70th minute before Van Aanholt scored for the third successive match (78') to ensure Palace finished the campaign on a high note.

West Brom almost took the lead in the third minute when James McArthur's cross was stabbed towards goal by Chris Brunt, but Ben Foster did well to reach down and batted it away. Moments later at the other end, Grzegorz Krychowiak's driven volley whistled narrowly wide of Wayne Hennessey's right post.

The closest chance of the half fell to Zaha who, off-balance, poked a shot on goal from close range which Foster stopped with his trailing leg in the 17th minute.

Palace continued to stroke the ball around for the remainder of the half but lacked the finishing touch as West Brom soaked up the pressure in a scrappy opening 45 minutes.

In the 55th minute, Ruben Loftus-Cheek's shot was caught by Foster from close range six minutes before Andros Townsend missed a golden opportunity to put Palace a goal up. With the West Brom defence scrambling, he slipped over when he tried to connect with Zaha's squared pass.

But fortunately team-mate Zaha atoned for Townsend's error by putting Palace a goal up. Van Aanholt drilled the ball across for the 25-year-old to deftly volley home his fifth goal in his last six matches.

Then, just eight minutes later, the provider turned goalscorer as Van Aanholt latched onto Townsend's incisive pass before rounding Foster and slotting away to complete what has been a remarkable turnaround by Roy Hodgson and his side in the second half of the season.
