Schlupp's strike was his fifth goal in all competitions for Palace this season, having not found the back of the net in his first two seasons with the club.
This record is also the highest of his career in a single campaign since he's scored six goals for Leicester City in 2011-12.
While Schlupp played the entirety of Sunday's game, fellow countryman and teammate Jordan Ayew was suspended at the hour of play, his place being taken by Senegalese Cheikhou Kouyate.
