Comments:

League position: 17th Crystal Palace ended a run of five consecutive home defeats; the longest such run by any team in the Premier League so far in this season. The Eagles avoided equalling a club record of six consecutive home league defeats. This was Palace's 300th game in the Premier League (won 80, lost 143).

Comments:

League position: 16th Middlesbrough now remained on the current longest run without a win in the Premier League of nine games (five defeats). Boro had now failed to win any of their last 13 Premier League games in London. Their last win in the capital was at Fulham in August 2007. They had now conceded only 14 goals in their 13 away games so far in this Premier League season but won only one.
