Crystal Palace fans' attempts to stamp their mark on Middlesbrough prior to the two teams' game on Saturday went wrong, as they mistakenly vandalised their own team's coach.
Just hours before the crucial 1-0 victory, secured by Patrick van Aanholt's goal, the Crystal Palace team bus was vandalised while parked outside a hotel near Selhurst Park.
The words 'Crystal Palace FC' were sprayed onto a red and blue background on the bus, causing £40,000 of damage in a case of mistaken identity, as those responsible thought they were tagging the Middlesbrough coach.
The confusion appears to have arisen due to the fact the Palace players were thought to be staying in a hotel regularly used by away fans when they visit the Eagles.
