AJ - Scored a penalty

Despite leading with an Andy Johnson penalty, Palace go down 2-1 to Middlesbrough.

Palace led through an Andy Johnson penalty after 52 minutes. Johnson was brought down in the box by Chris Riggott, and he picked himself up and slotted home the penalty.

Middlesbrough were back in it though on 61 minutes, when a ball into the Palace box, ended up coming off Tony Popovic, and beating JULIAN SPERONI in goal.

Boro made the points theirs though on 78 minutes from a Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink free kick from 18 yards out.
