Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is delighted with the form of Jason Puncheon.

Pardew has praised Puncheon for his displays since moving into a central role.

The manager said: "He has that experience now and that quality to stay on the ball that second longer and manoeuvre it to create something. I've been very impressed with Jason since I have returned.

"He gives us some intelligence. It is very important in this League to have an intelligent player with the final pass and I've evolved him into that."
