Substitute Brett Pitman salvaged a precious point for npower Championship strugglers Bristol City with a late double in a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
Palace, who went into the game without a victory in five, took the lead in the 14th minute through the impressive Wilfried Zaha, his first goal since October.
Stephen Pearson hit the bar for the Robins 10 minutes before half-time before Palace doubled their advantage with 21 minutes remaining.
Darren Ambrose converted from the penalty spot after Glenn Murray was fouled by Liam Fontaine, the midfielder's first goal since his stunning effort in the Carling Cup win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in November.
The Robins pulled a goal back in the 77th minute when Pitman, who had only been on the pitch for seven minutes, struck home a 25-yard free-kick, his first goal in 13 matches.
Pitman then added a second three minutes into injury time, lashing home from 18 yards after a long ball into the box.
