Crystal Palace were cruelly denied victory against Bristol City after an injury time goal saw them draw 1-1.

In the fifth minute of added time, Jamie McCombe rose highest in a packed six-yard box to head home Lee Johnson's corner.

Palace were heading for a vital three points thanks to Lee Hills scoring his first senior goal in the 61st minute.

Julian Speroni had made a fantastic double penalty save from Bradley Orr with four minutes left.

Justice was done only referee Richard Beeby knew why he awarded it as Darren Byfield fell to ground in the penalty area.

Bristol City: Basso, Orr, McCombe, Fontaine (Vasko 84), McAllister, Sproule (Byfield 69), Johnson, Elliott, Carle (Trundle 69), McIndoe, Adebola.

Not Used: Weale, Skuse.

Palace: Speroni, Butterfield, Hudson, Hills, Lawrence, Soares (Scannell 69), Hill, Derry (Fonte 85), Watson, Fletcher, Kuqi (Scowcroft 79).

Not Used: Morrison, Ifill.
