Crystal Palace threw away another lead, this time drawing 1-1 at home to Newcastle.
It was another two points dropped for the Eagles as they had to settle for a fourth successive Premier League draw.
Palace dominated the first half with 79 per cent possession but were unable to find the net before half-time.
Christian Benteke got closest to scoring but could only nod Michael Olise's cross onto the base of the post.
Benteke put his team ahead 11 minutes after the break with a close-range header off Tyrick Mitchell's delivery.
The Belgian also saw a header loop off the top of the Newcastle crossbar.
Newcastle equalised against the run of play on 65 minutes with an acrobatic volley from Callum Wilson.
Benteke wasted a glorious chance to but Palace back in front but he fired into the side-netting from James McArthur's through ball when it was easier to score.
And the striker thought he had given Palace a late headed winner but VAR ruled his effort out due to a Marc Guehi foul in the build-up.
