But on the most important night of Palace's season, they finally lived up to that tag by producing a brilliant display to beat Fiorentina 3-0 thanks to goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Tyrick Mitchell and Ismaila Sarr. 'It was a fantastic performance, especially in the first half and the last 25 minutes,' Glasner said post-match. We knew they are very compact, but we created so many chances which was great to see. This was a redeeming night for Mateta though, and he received a rapturous reception when substituted late on. 'It's what JP deserved because he always gives 100 per cent effort for the team and Crystal Palace,' Glasner added.
