Crystal Palace fought back from a goal down to earn a 1-1 draw in their Premier League clash against Stoke City.

In the 11th minute, James McArthur headed the Eagles in front, but Peter Crouch tapped in at the back post to level the scores two minutes later.

Here, Sports Mole has rated the performances of each of the players on show at Selhurst Park.

CRYSTAL PALACE:

Goal

Julian Speroni: Could not have done much about Stoke's goal, which came about thanks to a fortunate deflection. Aside from that, he was relatively untroubled and dealt with balls into his box well. (6/10)

Defence

Joel Ward: Did not get involved too much, but played well and hardly allowed anyone in behind down his side. (6/10)

Brede Hangeland: Decent performance from the Norwegian, who was never beaten in the air and was strong throughout. (7/10)

Scott Dann: Another good showing from a Palace defender. Was not overly troubled and helped to nullify the threat of Crouch. (7/10)

Martin Kelly: Got forward well down the right when he was able to and never neglected his defensive duties. (6/10)

Midfield

Mile Jedinak: Tough-tackling display from the Palace captain, who was a dominant presence in the centre of the midfield. Was unable to have any clear attempts on goal, but always used possession well. (7/10)

James McArthur: Scored a great header to open the scoring and was involved in many of his team's best moves. Almost scored a second after the break, but he was denied by a great save. (8/10)

Joe Ledley: Failed to have much impact on the game, but was good when in possession. (6/10)

Attack

Wilfried Zaha: Very good in the first half and almost won his side a penalty when his cross struck Pieters' hand. Faded slightly after the break and was replaced just after the hour by Puncheon. (7/10)

Yannick Bolasie: The winger enjoyed yet another impressive afternoon. He set up the first goal with a fine delivery and played in a number of other dangerous crosses. (8/10)

Marouane Chamakh: Was unable to have too much impact on the game and had to leave the pitch with an injury. (6/10)

Substitutes

Jason Puncheon: Came on for the last 30 minutes, but struggled to get into the game. (6/10)

Barry Bannan: Helped Palace to hold on to a point when he came on for the last five minutes. (6/10)

Dwight Gayle: Replaced the injured Chamakh, but saw very little of the ball. (6/10)

STOKE CITY:

Goal

Asmir Begovic: Was not at fault for the opening goal and made a great save in the second half to deny McArthur a brace. (7/10)

Defence

Phil Bardsley: He was given a tough afternoon by Bolasie as the winger looked a constant danger. (5/10)

Ryan Shawcross: Commanding performance from the defender, although he may feel that he could have dealt with McArthur better for the opening goal. Aside from that, he was strong in the air and made a number of decent interceptions. (7/10)

Marc Wilson: Returned to the defence and had a decent game. Made some good blocks and kept Chamakh quiet all afternoon. (7/10)

Erik Pieters: Struggled against Zaha at times in the first half, but was largely solid in his full-back slot. (6/10)

Midfield

Steven N'Zonzi: Battling performance from the Frenchman. Showed his physical presence in the heart of the midfield and never shied away from a challenge. (7/10)

Geoff Cameron: Did not make too much of an impact, but was conformable when in possession. (6/10)

Jonathan Walters: Caused the Palace defence a few dangerous moments and inadvertently set up the first goal with his deflected effort. (6/10)

Attack

Bojan: Enjoyed a decent start to the match and played a huge part in the opening goal. Showed some more neat touches, but was replaced after the break by Arnautovic after appearing to pick up an injury. (7/10)

Mame Biram Diouf: He did not see much of the ball, but looked a threat when in possession. At times, the Senegal international showed his frustration and was involved in a couple of heated arguments. (6/10)

Peter Crouch: The striker was on hand to tap into an empty net from close range to bring his side level. He did not have too many more chances, but led the line well enough. (7/10)

Substitutes

Marko Arnautovic: Replaced Bojan and looked lively when he first came on. (6/10)
