Crystal Palace enjoyed a 1-0 win over Watford on Saturday afternoon, keeping their third clean sheet in their last three Premier League games, and Gary Cahill was one of many players to come away with praise for his performance. The 34-year-old started alongside Scott Dann at centre-back and managed to keep out everything that Watford threw at him.

Cahill made more passes than any of his Palace teammates, was dominant in the air, turned over possession twice and blocked a number of Watford’s shots. He’s not conceded a league goal for a month and has been at the heart of the Eagles’ recent rise up the table – not bad for a free signing last summer.

Quality as usual!!
