Crystal Palace drew 1-1 at home with Stoke City in a scrappy encounter at Selhurst Park.
James McArthur netted his first goal for the Eagles since joining from Wigan in September, which was the highlight of a tepid match.
The midfielder gave Palace an 11th-minute lead with a header that looped over keeper Asmir Begovic from Yannick Bolasie's cross.
But the lead last just two minutes as poor defending allowed an unmarked Peter Crouch to slot home an equaliser.
Begovic kept out an effort from McArthur in the second half but Palace had to settle for a draw and now have just one win in 10.
Palace: Speroni, Kelly, Hangeland, Dann, Ward, Jedinak, McArthur (Bannan 85), Ledley, Zaha (Puncheon 61), Bolasie, Chamakh (Gayle 77).
Not used: Hennessey, Campbell, Thomas, Delaney
Stoke: Begovic, Bardsley, Shawcross, Wilson, Pieters, Nzonzi, Cameron, Walters, Bojan (Arnautovic 55), Diouf, Crouch.
Not used: Butland, Huth, Whelan, Ireland, Adam, Assaidi
