The home side saw Alberto Serran sent off for a professional foul in the 16th minute. The referee claiming that Serran took down Neil Danns as he headed goalwards. There was disbelief as the red card was awarded with the officla claiming Serran was the last man.
Palace though couldn't capitalise and despite creating more chances didn't look much like scoring until late on when Freddie Sears was through on Swans keeper de Vries but the stopper dd his job and it ended 0 - 0.
Attention turns to the FA Cup now with Palace away at Sheffield Wednesday this coming Saturday.
