Dropping down
Palace's 1-0 reverse at Highbury did not prove as costly as it could have done as both Tottenham Hotspur and Barnsley also lost 1-0. A late Nathan Blake goal salvaged a point for Bolton Wanderers and saw Palace drop to second bottom. However but for Dion Dublin's dubious last minute penalty for Coventry against Barnsley, Palace would be rock bottom.
