A number of Crystal Palace fans have praised Tyrick Mitchell on social media for his first-half display against Manchester City.

Roy Hodgson made two changes from the defeat to Leicester City last time out, with Mitchell and Andros Townsend coming in for Patrick van Aanholt and Jordan Ayew.

The 21-year-old came in for his 14th league start of the campaign and first since the win over Brighton back in February.

Palace went into the game in 13th place, knowing a shock win over Pep Guardiola's side would take them over 40 points.

Mitchell, valued at £4.5m by Transfermarkt, has made just 18 appearances for Palace and is coming up against City winger Ferran Torres at Selhurst Park.

Prior to kick-off, Mitchell averaged a Premier League match rating of 6.61/10 this season, as per WhoScored – and it seems as if numerous Palace fans think he’s putting in a solid shift.
