Ed Aarons has filed his match report from Selhurst Park, so that’s my cue to go out for a night on the tiles in North Yorkshire, where I’m on holiday with my mum. Thanks for your company and correspondence about the finer points of yellow cards.
And here’s Dean Henderson. “It was a game of two halves,” he says. True enough. “We were attacking the game to win the game, we had a game plan. They were really good in the first half. We changed a few things… the manager felt we were playing so cautious and had nothing to lose. We were better second half but there’s more to come.”
After making seven saves, Henderson is asked by Jamie Redknapp to name his favourite. He has to think a bit. “The header,” he says eventually, meaning the one that De Ligt sent into his feet. “It was so close.”
“Have a good evening.” says Henderson, who seems a genial character. He gave his shirt to a small boy in the crowd who had a sign up, asking for it.
