A late, late, chance from Man City’s Christian McFarlane was headed over the bar as Darren Powell’s side managed to hold on through the remainder of time added on, to secure a vital three points against the Premier League 2 leaders.
The result means Palace move up to 5th place, level on points with Chelsea and have all-but mathematically secured a PL2 play-off place.
