Roy Hodgson reached the 400 game milestone as a Premier League manager and, in the circumstances, this point for Crystal Palace was one worth celebrating too.
Palace have been decimated by injuries, their woes threatening to put a dampener on this landmark occasion for the well-travelled, veteran manager.
They certainly hampered Palace's hopes of following up their shock win at Manchester United with another three points and with Eberechi Eze among their latest victims it is no wonder they were not at their most creative.
Eze was one of nine first-team players Palace started this game without and they saw that number hit double figures when they lost first Jeffrey Schlupp and then Jairo Riedewald.
