Comments:

League position: 12th Crystal Palace had now drawn consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since January 2020. They had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games in the Premier League. Christian Benteke became the third Palace player to score and be shown a red card in a game in the Premier League; also Wilfried Zaha at Southampton on 30 January 2019 and Glenn Murray at West Ham United on 28 February 2015.
