After the game, Crystal Palace's coach Bert Head said about the Iranian midfielder: « He's a wonderful player. Although he's not tall, he's extremely sharp and smart. He knows what he's doing with the ball, his eyes are open and fortunately, he doesn't use unnecessary roughness. He was the only player who worked well with the ball during the 90' minutes and his penetrating passes were timely ».
