Points shared at Selhurst Park

Owen Garvan and Glenn Murray score to turn around Blackpool's lead given to them by Nathan Delfouneso, but Nouha Dicko saves a point for the visitors.

A second-half Crystal Palace comeback has denied Blackpool a win against old manager Ian Holloway, although the visitors did salvage a point through a late Nouha Dicko goal.

The game started in spectacular fashion as Wes Thomas attempted an overhead kick for the visitors on three minutes, but could not find the target.

It was a strong start from Blackpool but the game was becoming scrappy as Angel Martinez and Alex Baptiste both went into the book within a couple of minutes.

Blackpool continued to play the best football and they were ahead in the 37th minute through a good Delfouneso finish.

Palace came out after the break a different side and were level eight minutes after the break when Wilfried Zaha set up Owen Garvan.

Glenn Murray then scored his ninth goal in seven games to complete the turnaround for Palace; Garvan clipped the ball in and the striker looped a header into the corner.

However, Blackpool weren't to be denied a point as Dicko scored in the last minute of normal time from close range.

There were chances for both teams late on but neither side could grab the winner.
