After netting against Liverpool in midweek following his arrival from Real Sociedad for a reported fee of 59 million pounds , record signing Alexander Isak went close to scoring in the first half, robbing Joachim Andersen to create a one-on-one but failing to get his chip over Palace keeper Vicente Guaita.
The home side thought they had taken the lead six minutes into the second half thanks to an own goal from Tyrick Mitchell, but the goal was ruled out after a VAR review found that Joe Willock had fouled Guaita. He did, however, have to pull off a tremendous reflex save in the 73rd minute to maintain his clean sheet.
