    Palace just need to tighten up the distances between the lines. They have been a little bit loose in terms of losing possession and it is becoming a little bit more like a basketball game.

    Paul Robinson
    Former Premier League goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at Leipzig Stadium

    Yes Crystal Palace are on top of this game and were looking more likely to get the next goal but all of a sudden they are exposed. Garcia down the left-hand side, ball ends up in the side netting, but that is good attacking intent from Rayo Vallecano. That is the warning shot.
