Both Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood missed significant chances to score, with Wood's miss being highlighted as a potential turning point in the game by Burnley's manager, Sean Dyche. Despite the missed opportunities and conceding two goals to Palace, one each from Wilfried Zaha and Jeffrey Schlupp, Dyche was not despondent with the team's performance, citing a lack of key moments rather than effort or organization. Burnley's goalkeeper, Nick Pope, was also mentioned for being critical of his own performance, particularly with the first goal conceded.

The article reviews a live performance by RZA, Method Man, and their group, which despite being iconic figures in 20th-century music, delivered a show that was chaotic and disjointed. The sound system was criticized as inadequate, causing their hits to lack the impact they have on record. The performance of 'Gravel Pit' was highlighted as particularly imperfect. However, the show ended with RZA and Method Man playing studio versions or sections of new songs, suggesting that reports of hip hop's demise, as stated by Nas, might be premature.
