Man for man marking: Crystal Palace v Watford Championship Play-off Final Julian Speroni Argentine had very little to do until early on in extra time, brilliantly keeping out Deeney from two yards out. Joel Ward Ineffective going forward and was caught out on occasions in both halves. Redeemed by late saving header. Danny Gabbidon Strong and commanding in Palace's back four, valiantly quashing Deeney's physicality and quick thinking. Damien Delaney Big test with Vydra and Deeney to deal with, but did a job as well as helping Moxey with Anya threat on left flank. Dean Moxey Couldn't deal with Anya alone. If Watford had looked for the winger more, the results could have been savage. Mile Jedinak Killed his own side's attacks with lack of creativity, but worked hard to make a stamp on the game with his desire. Kagisho Dikgacoi Substituted early and Palace missed physical presence. Looked to throw his weight about before picking up injury. Owen Garvan Quiet throughout, keeping the ball ticking over without providing much spark. Missed a good chance late on. Jonny Williams Substituted in second half after dropping in and out of the game. Not able to work his magic around the penalty area. Wilfried Zaha A constant threat, particularly to Cassetti. Showed his strength is a big part of his game, not just his trickery. Aaron Wilbraham Missed a host of gilt-edged chances in the second half. Looked off the pace when presented with the ball. Best off the bench Kevin Phillips: Legendary veteran's goal seemed to be written in the script.7 Manuel Almunia Three fantastic saves in the second half kept Watford in it, showing his experience on aerial balls also. Lloyd Doyley Used his experience to keep out Palace's four-pronged attack in fantastic fashion. Never gave in to danger of Zaha. Joel Ekstrand Good on the ball and astute with his positioning. Stamp on Wilbraham should have seen him sent off, however. Marco Cassetti Experienced Italian did well until giving away the penalty. Effective going forward but one mistake cost Watford. Ikechi Anya Pacey Scot had the running of Moxey in the first half, even though Watford failed to feed him on several occasions. Nathaniel Chalobah Did not look fazed by the occasion in the first half. Palace soon worked to stifle his impact. Jonathan Hogg Impact on the game was behind the scenes, commanding a crowded midfield with quiet assurance. Almen Abdi Came in and out of the game. Looked a good outlet early on but soon went missing as Watford struggled. Daniel Pudil Constantly searched for when Palace built from defence, but failed to make much of a contribution with the ball. Troy Deeney Strength at holding the ball up looked to be Watford's outlet in first half, but threat was soon quashed by Doyley. Matej Vydra Never stopped running, though out of sorts with the ball. Brought off for Geijo at half-time with an injury. Best off the bench Alexandre Geijo: Hard-working but hardly given a sniff after coming on.6
