"Best game for us", "Tremendous" - Many Palace fans rave about 29 y/o who was a "big surprise"

A real Premier League veteran now, Cheikhou Kouyate produced arguably one of his finest performances in a Crystal Palace shirt on Saturday afternoon against Liverpool.

The Senegal international has been an ever-present in the top-flight with both West Ham and now Palace, racking up a total of 170 appearances in English football’s top division.

This season alone has seen him feature ten times, with the only league games that he has missed coming in the opening two match-days against Everton and Sheffield United respectively when he was on the bench.

Against Jurgen Klopp’s side at the weekend, the 29-year-old produced a bull-dozing display, winning seven duels, making four interceptions and providing two key passes.

After seeing his fine performance, Palace fans flooded to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the midfielder.

Many supporters of the side hailed him for having a star showing, with one fan in particular suggesting that it was his best game for the club.

Check out some of the reaction of Palace fans below:

Townsend. Gives us so much more positivity. Honourable mention for Kouyate. Think that was his best game for us.

Happy to see life from Benteke. Zaha on the score sheet was a plus

Kouyate is a big surprise. Especially attacking wise. Best player imo during this game.

We played well today. It’s nice to see that when we at least TRY and attack, we look quite threatening – who knew? Unfortunately v sloppy for both LPool goals. Front three + Kouyate motm for me #cpfc
