As Crystal Palace drew 1-1 at FC Metz, here's a photo gallery from the game.

Young Belgian winger Jason Lokilo started in a front three for the Eagles.

New loan signing Rubens Loftus-Cheek again began the match in midfield.

Patrick van Aanholt was given the left wingback role ahead of Jeffrey Schlupp.

Palace were unlucky not to have taken the lead when Christian Benteke twice and then Luka Milivojevic hit the woodwork. However, the first half ended goalless.

Wilfried Zaha fired Palace in front on 56 minutes after volleying in Andros Townsend's cross.

The winger continued his impressive pre-season for Palace.

Skipper Jason Puncheon tried to inspire Palace to a second goal.

But Ibrahima Niane snatched an equaliser for Metz with 12 minutes to go.
