Crystal Palace played six matches across December, starting the month brightly with a win and two well-earned draws and then responding to frustrating results to finish with a point.
The Eagles kick-started December by beating West Bromwich Albion 5-1 to record their largest away victory in top-flight history.
They followed that success with hard-fought 1-1 draws against Tottenham Hotspur in front of 2,000 fans at Selhurst and in-form West Ham United with just 10 men.
Palace's sparkling form stuttered, however, with consecutive losses before ending the month and year with a hard-fought point v Leicester City.
