Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi deserves as much credit for his defensive effort as his attacking exploits.

The winger was given a chance to impress with the first team after an injury to Jeffrey Schlupp.

The 21-year-old did show ample attacking talent and flair in a 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest, but what impressed teammate Will Hughes was his work rate.

Speaking to reporters, Hughes said of Rak-Sakyi: He's been brilliant.

"He's bided his time he's still young and today he came on after 20 minutes and showed what he was about on the ball.

I thought defensively he was brilliant as well, which a lot of people won't see they might only see him on the ball.

He's got a lot of potential. He's still got a lot to learn but I thought it was a great start, and hopefully there's more to come."
