Crystal Palace had six of the top 10 players outside of the Premier League's 'big six' to complete the most successful dribbles during their 5-1 win over Leeds United.
Patrick Bamford's 50th goal for the club in the first-half was swiftly overshadowed by a second-half implosion that saw Palace score four goals in 24 minutes at Elland Road. Marc Guehi's equaliser moments before half-time came against the run of play after an opening 45 minutes that would have left Javi Gracia questioning how his side had failed to score just the solitary goal.
However, the first and second-half performances were night and day as Palace scored four without reply after the break. Michael Olise would set up three of the five goals in a superb individual performance for Roy Hodgson's side. Eberechi Eze, who scored the third of Palace's five goals, also impressed as both players showcased their dribbling talents.

Eze successfully dribbled the ball nine times during the match, more than any other player outside of the traditional 'big six Premier League sides in any top-flight match over the weekend. And Palace also had the next three highest ball carriers with Jeffrey Schlupp (seven), Olise (five) and Jordan Ayew (four) also displaying their ability while running with the ball at their feet.
Not to be outdone by the rest of their teammates, both Odsonne Edouard and Marc Guehi would carry out three successful dribbles each to ensure that Palace had six of the 10 highest dribblers across the weekend of Premier League matches.
Leeds meanwhile did not have a single player inside the top 10 for successful dribbles, a statistic that goes some way in showcasing the alarming disparity between the two clubs in the second-half.
This is something Leeds must ensure is not repeated again during the Premier League run-in.
