Crystal Palace picked up a point as they drew with manager-less Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.
The result means that Palace are now unbeaten in eight games, their longest run in the top flight since October 1990 when they went twelve games unbeaten.
It took until the second half for the scoring to be opened after Ruben Loftus Cheek was brought down by Federico Fernandez.
Luka Milivojevic stepped up and slotted home, giving the Eagles a 1-0 lead. Palace were able to withstand much of the Swansea pressure, much down to a new-found defensive solidarity. However, the Swans would eventually equalise through Jordan Ayew, who’s spectacular effort meant both teams went home with a point.
The result leaves Swansea still rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Palace remain just outside the relegation zone in 16th place, just above West Ham United.
