Few people expected Crystal Palace to come away with a point from their trip to an in-form West Ham United side, but thanks to an inspirational display by Conor Gallagher, the Eagles were unlucky not to emerge with a victory.
Gallagher impressed while on loan at West Bromwich Albion from Chelsea last season and the midfielder appears to be growing in stature this season, according to Alan Shearer.
Given a free role by Palace manager Patrick Vieira, the 21-year-old loanee scored two superbly taken goals to earn Palace a thrilling 2-2 draw with the league leaders and cement a place for himself in Hall of Fame inductee Shearer's Matchweek 3 Team of the Week.

David De Gea (MUN) WOL 0-1 MUN
The Spaniard kept Manchester United in the match with a fine display including a double-save to remember against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Raphael Varane (MUN) WOL 0-1 MUN
Oozed class and was calmness personified under pressure as Wolves mounted several attacks. Not a bad start to his Premier League career.
Andreas Christensen (CHE) LIV 1-1 CHE
Stood firm all game particularly in the second half when down to 10 men.
Antonio Rudiger (CHE) LIV 1-1 CHE
Tough in the tackle, strong in the air and showed good recovery pace as Chelsea defended as if their lives depended on it at Anfield.
Conor Gallagher (CRY) WHU 2-2 CRY
With two well-taken goals against an in-form Hammers side, the impressive Gallagher showed he is going from strength to strength.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (TOT) TOT 1-0 WAT
Put in a solid shift in the middle as Tottenham Hotspur ground out their third successive victory to go top of the league.
He provided great protection and bossed the middle of the park for Everton.
Ilkay Gundogan (MCI) MCI 5-0 ARS
Got the scoring under way and ran the midfield as the champions ran riot against Arsenal for their third 5-0 home league win in a row.
Gabriel Jesus (MCI) MCI 5-0 ARS
Justified Pep Guardiola's continued faith in him with a goal as well as another superb assist - his third of the season.
Ferran Torres (MCI) MCI 5-0 ARS
The Spaniard showed great movement as he scored twice and produced an assist.
Demarai Gray (EVE) BHA 0-2 EVE
Another goal and another very good performance from the summer signing. Was a threat throughout.
Head coach: Nuno Espirito Santo (TOT) TOT 1-0 WAT
Played three. Won three. Conceded zero. Top. An unbelievable start for Nuno at Spurs.
