Ten-man Crystal Palace had to settle for a 1-1 draw away at West Ham United.
The Eagles managed to play the final 20 minutes of this London derby following Christian Benteke's sending off.
Benteke had given Palace a deserved 34th-minute lead by heading home Joel Ward's cross from the right.
The Belgian should have added another after a brilliant team move but fluffed his effort from six yards.
West Ham equalised through a wonderful overhead kick from forward Sebastien Haller on 55 minutes.
Benteke, who had previously been booked for catching Angelo Ogbonna with an elbow, was dismissed for a second yellow card for a similar offence on Tomas Soucek in the 70th minute.
Palace managed to hold on for the remainder of the game to eek out an away point.
