Comments:

League position: 5th Crystal Palace had now failed to win their final league game in each of the last four years. The Eagles were now unbeaten in six matches, their best such run in the top division since April 1993. Brede Hangeland was booked in the first minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 17th Swansea City had now kept three consecutive Premier League clean sheets under caretaker manager Alan Curtis. The Swans had now only won one away game in the Premier League so far during the 2015-16 season (at bottom of the table Aston Villa on 24 October). City had now won only one of their last 11 Premier League visits to London (lost six).
