60'
MITCHELL WASTES A GOOD CHANCE
Palace counter as Eze gets the better of van Hecke in midfield. The Palace man plays it down the left for Mitchell who runs into the box and although in a good crossing position, decides to shoot and it's relatively easy for Verbruggen to deal with.
54'
Goal
Munoz drives the ball into the bottom left corner from the right of the box.
52'
MITOMA CAUGHT BY LACROIX, BUT FREE-KICK TO PALACE
That's an odd decision from the referee. Mitoma cuts past a Palace player and then slides in to play a pass, beating Lacroix to the ball. The Palace player then catches Kaoru, with both in pain after the challenge. A free-kick is then given in Palace's favour. Don't get that at all and the replay doesn't really make any clearer why the decision has gone against Albion.
46'
Second Half begins
Back at it at Selhurst. Palace get the ball rolling.
45'+1'
All square at the break. Mateta gave the hosts the lead with a thumping effort early on
All square at the break. Mateta gave the hosts the lead with a thumping effort early on, before Welbeck equalised, getting on the end of Minteh's cross.

ONE MINUTE ADDED ON
40'
FIVE MINUTES OF THE FIRST HALF TO GO
That Albion goal has just taken the string out of the game a little. Albion had been working Palace hard to find an equaliser, and now they have they're being a little more patient on the ball. Palace are still posing a threat but their best chances so far came in the opening ten minutes.

BHA
Goal!
Welbeck
LEVELLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET IN THERE, DANNY WELBECK!!!
Minteh crosses in from the right and Welbeck flies in to flick it into the bottom left corner!
That goal makes him our outright Premier League top goalscorer, putting him one ahead of Pascal Gross.
28'
MINTEH CAN'T GET IT UNDER HIS SPELL
van Hecke cuts the Palace defence open with a lovely pass for Minteh. The Gambia international is under a lot of pressure from Guehi though and can't get it under control, which allows Henderson time to come out and gather the ball.
25'
Yellow Card
van Hecke goes into the referee's book for tripping Sarr as the Palace player looked to attack through the middle.
13'
HENDERSON TO PALACE'S RESCUE
Baleba catches a sweet strike from the edge of the box, it dips just in front of Henderson who gets a strong hand on it to keep it out, it drops back into a dangerous area for Welbeck to hit on the follow up, but the keeper saves that too. Good opportunity for Albion.
12'
Kaoru Mitoma curs in from the left flank and looks to bend a shot into the top right corner but gets it wrong and sends it high and wide.
9'
CLOSE TO A SECOND FOR PALACE
That's a sensational piece of skill from the England international as he brings down Henderson's ball downfield, cutting in before heading to the by-line and trying to squeeze a shot into the bottom right corner, but Verbruggen does well to tip it around the post.
6'
WELBECK CAN'T GET TO O'RILEY'S CROSS
Mitoma plays it down the left for O'Riley - who has popped on both flanks so far - with the Denmark international seeing his first time cross gathered by Henderson, with Welbeck a yard or two off getting a tap in.
5'
Albion look to get back into the game immediately as the ball falls for Estupinan to fire at goal from range, but it's blocked before Guehi clears.
3'
Goal
Mateta thumps Palace into an early lead.
