Palace claim away point

Crystal Palace earned a point in their quest to stay up by drawing 0-0 at relegation rivals Doncaster Rovers.

With fellow strugglers Scunthorpe also drawing against Coventry, it means the Eagles are still one place and three points above the drop zone.

Former Palace loanee John Oster created the first chance of a nervy match with a long range drive, Jason Euell then fired off target and Donny had shouts for a penalty turned down after Oster's shot hit Nathaniel Clyne.

Julian Speroni was alert to keep out defender Wayne Thomas's header as the home side dominated the first half.

That continued after the interval as Euell rifled wide of the goal from six yards before seeing an acrobatic effort saved by Speroni.

Palace got back into the game with Darren Ambrose seeing his header from the recalled Pablo Counago's cross saved by Gary Woods.

Euell had another shot off target before Palace had two great chances to win the match go abegging.

Sub Stefan Iversen set up Neil Danns whose strike hit the post and shortly afterwards, Iversen spooned over from close range after good work from Clyne.

Doncaster: Gary Woods, Dumbuya (Martis 79), O'Connor, Friend,Thomas, Coppinger (Shiels 88), Oster, Stock, Gillett,Moussa (Hayter 73), Euell.
