Premier League 2018-19, Crystal Palace 1-3 Manchester City: 5 Talking Points and Tactical Analysis

#2 Kyle Walker impresses but Aaron Wan-Bissaka outshines his compatriot

The 21-year old was impressive against Manchester City

It was a match that pitted one of the most consistent right backs in the league, Kyle Walker, against one of the best right backs of this season, Aaron Wan Bissaka.

The Englishman had a torrid evening the last time City met Palace, with Walker being one of the culprits that allowed Roy Hodgson's team to come from behind to snatch the victory at the Etihad. The result of that match even prompted Pep to drop the English full back for a couple of matches.

This time around, Kyle Walker was up to the task. He handled the blistering pace, the silky touch, the tricks and turns of Wilfred Zaha quite comfortably, keeping the Ivorian at bay on many occasions.

The Englishman was fast, powerful and his instincts to prevent counter attacks while also being productive in the attacking front was equally impressive.

If Kyle Walker was great, another English lad took the honours of being the best right back on the pitch. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is seven years younger than his compatriot and burst into to the Premier League scene this season, outshined the 28-year old with his much assured and quality performance

The 21-year old Wan-Bissaka won an impressive 10 duels at a 70% completion rate. He also made five tackles, the highest a Crystal Palace player managed in the game, and eight clearances, and yet never once committed a foul.

He was impervious in his side once again showed why the 21-year old deserves to be playing in a much better team than the Crystal Palace. Taking into the account that Aaron Wan-Bissaka had Leroy Sané and Benjamin Mendy locked down, this feat speaks volumes of the youngster's talent.
