da cassino online: Crystal Palace recorded a hugely important away win against Burnley on Saturday and the Eagles will undoubtedly be frustrated that they weren’t able to keep a clean sheet having gone 3-0 up with relative ease. Each of the Palace back four were brilliant but Dann in particular, deputising for Mamadou Sakho, can feel aggrieved if he is dropped to the bench for the Brighton clash this weekend.
On the chalkboard
A trip up to Turf Moor was always going to represent a huge, physical challenge to Roy Hodgson’s side but they dealt with bustling Burnley brilliantly from start to finish.
The Clarets typically find their success down the wings, swinging the ball into the box for their brutish strikers and, while another faultless Aaron Wan-Bissaka performance was helpful, Palace’s two centre-backs were excellent at dealing with the danger if the ball did get past the impressive Englishman.
James Tomkins was partnered by Scott Dann at the heart of defence, with the latter making his first start – talk about being thrown in at the deep end – although he didn’t look out of place once, deputising capably for the injured Sakho.
The former Palace captain matched the Frenchman for not only physical and defensive qualities, but in terms of leadership as well.
Dominant Dann
The 32-year-old, tasked with nullifying the likes of Chris Wood, Peter Crouch and Ashley Barnes – some of the best aerial threats the Premier League has to offer – completed a whopping 11 clearances and won 6 aerial duels, while also registering 1 tackle and 2 blocks.
The former Blackburn man’s partner in crime, meanwhile, did all his defensive work in the air, failing to tackle, intercept or block once all game – not to say he wasn’t equally impressive, though.

Martin Kelly has also come in when the Selhurst Park outfit have struggled with injuries or suspensions this season and has also impressed, but Dann’s dominant display at the weekend should convince Hodgson to keep faith in him for the eagerly-anticipated derby this weekend.
The game will undoubtedly have the verve that some derby games have lacked this season and, for that, Palace will need fighters all over the pitch – Dann should be on the team-sheet for sure.
