KICK-OFF

4th min - Marrow breaks down the right and fires in a long, low cross that finds it's way to Djilali at the far post, but he skies his shot.

7th min - Djilali is battling for the ball again in the area, but takes a knock. The attack started due to James Vaughan winning the ball in midfield.

9th min - A fox, of the four legged kind, has just ran behind the goal at the Whitehorse Lane end and into the Main Stand. The game is paused as a Burnley player gets treatment so the whole crowd are watching him.

17th min - Vaughan goes in hard on centre-back Bikey and leaves the Burnley defender in a heap. Vaughan does like to put a tackle in, but in this instance it was a bit late.

21st min - Cadogan gets into the box, lays it off to Vaughan, shot is deflected behind for a corner. Corner comes over, put behind. Second corner for Palace, Jensen punches clear Dorman's cross.

38th min - Chris Eagles wins a corner that he takes himself. Davis clears for Palace.

39th min - Djilali is cut down by Carlise in full flight. Yellow card for the Burnley man. Vaughan takes the resulting free-kick but it's horrible. High and very wide.
