Alan Pardew's impressive start to his Crystal Palace reign continued with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Clarets appeared to be in complete control after goals from Ben Mee and Danny Ings handed them the advantage inside the opening 16 minutes.

However, Dwight Gayle reduced the deficit before the break, and Jason Puncheon fired home early in the second half to get Palace back on level terms.

Gayle made the difference for the visitors with a fine finish from Puncheon's cross as the Eagles snatched all three points in the 87th minute.

Below, Sports Mole takes a look at who impressed for the two sides on a snowy day in Lancashire.

Goal

Tom Heaton: Made a couple of decent saves, but he'll be disappointed to have let Puncheon find the near post for Palace's equaliser. (5/10)

Defence

Kieran Trippier: Battled well with Zaha to force him to switch wings, and he once again showed his quality further up the pitch by getting involved in attacks. (7/10)

Jason Shackell: A difficult day for the Burnley skipper. Looked comfortable dealing with Sanogo, but he was often caught out of position by Palace's quicker players. (5/10)

Michael Keane: A solid performance from the centre-back, but he and Shackell must take some responsibility for twice allowing Gayle to find space in the box. (6/10)

Ben Mee: Made a great start by opening the scoring with a header. However, he struggled to cope with the trickery of Zaha when the Palace winger carried the visitors forward in the first half. (5/10)

Midfield

David Jones: Battled impressively in the middle of the park, but he found it difficult to provide the right service for Burnley's attacking players. (6/10)

Dean Marney: Offered very little going forward from midfield, and he was often off target with his longer balls forward towards the strikers. (5/10)

George Boyd: Played such a key role in Burnley's recent good form in the league, but it was a disappointing afternoon as he spent long spells on the fringe of the action. (5/10)

Scott Arfield: The best of Burnley's midfield quartet. Lively in the early stages with his clever passing, but he faded as the game progressed. (7/10)

Attack

Danny Ings: Displayed his class with a calm finish to double Burnley's lead, but he was quiet for long spells on a day when Burnley struggled to deliver the right service to the striker. (6/10)

Ashley Barnes: Always willing to chase down lost causes, despite struggling to have a major impact in the final third of the pitch before being removed in the second half. (5/10)

Substitutes

Sam Vokes: Perhaps should have been sent on earlier, but Sean Dyche is reluctant to hurry the striker's progress after a long spell out with injury. Struggled to get involved after being introduced in the 73rd minute. (5/10)

Marvin Sordell: Not given a chance to impress as a stoppage-time replacement for Boyd. (4/10)

Ross Wallace: Came on with Sordell as Burnley chased the game, but he couldn't inspire his side to a late fightback. (4/10)

Goal

Julian Speroni: Caught out of position for the first goal as Mee headed in from a corner. Not asked to do much else as Burnley's attacking threat faded. (5/10)

Defence

Joel Ward: Prevented from getting forward as often as he would have liked, but performed calmly after the shocking start for the visitors. (6/10)

Scott Dann: It was a nervy start from the centre-back, but he quickly regained his composure to lead the defence well. (6/10)

Damien Delaney: Struggled to track Ings early on as Burnley started impressively. However, he improved to keep the striker quiet for long spells of the game. (6/10)

Martin Kelly: Short of his best as he put Palace under early pressure with a couple of mistakes. Taken off late on after joining in with the defence's improvement. (5/10)

Midfield

James McArthur: Missed a great chance moments before Gayle scored his first of the afternoon. Comfortable in possession and kept his side ticking over in midfield. (6/10)

Joe Ledley: Lost Mee in the build up to Burnley's opener, but recovered from his early mistake to enjoy a good partnership with McArthur in the absence of captain Mile Jedinak. (6/10)

Jason Puncheon: Struggled to get involved early on, but his quality on the ball made a big difference after the break. Equalised with a low powerful strike before setting up the winner for Gayle. (7/10)

Wilfried Zaha: Showed his quality in the first half by troubling the Burnley defence with his trickery and direct play on the wing. Created the first goal with a fine run and cross. Faded after the break, but promising signs for Palace fans. (7/10)

Attack

Yaya Sanogo: Struggled on his debut after moving to the club on loan from Arsenal. Forced into battling for long balls forward, which he didn't enjoy and he never really looked a threat in Burnley's box. (5/10)

Dwight Gayle: Made it 10 goals in all competitions this season with two crucial strikes. Asked to play in a central and wide role during the game, and his eagerness to find space made life difficult for Burnley. Could relish the opportunity to play regularly under Alan Pardew. (8/10)

Substitutes

Adlene Guedioura Unlucky not to start following his impressive cameo last weekend, but he struggled to make the same impact after coming on for Zaha. (5/10)

Glenn Murray: Given 11 minutes to impress, and he almost made an instant impact by striking the post with a volley a few moments before Gayle's winner. (6/10)

Adrian Mariappa: Solid in defence for the visitors late on after replacing Kelly. (5/10)
