Crystal Palace tasted defeat for the first time since the end of October as they were beaten by French side Strasbourg in the Conference League.
Tyrick Mitchell gave Palace the lead in the 35th minute with a drilled finish across goal after being slipped through by Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The Premier League side, who were on a five-match unbeaten run, should have doubled their advantage just before the break but Ismaila Sarr could only strike the post from 30 yards out when presented with an open goal after Strasbourg keeper Mike Penders lost possession.
Strasbourg levelled eight minutes after the restart when captain Emanuel Emegha, who will join Chelsea next summer, turned in Diego Moreira’s low cross.
Chelsea loanee Penders was then caught out of position again midway through the second half but Adam Wharton could only strike the crossbar from range.
Penders made up for his error a few minutes later when he did well to deny Yeremy Pino from close range with a diving save.
Palace were ultimately made to pay for their missed chances when Julio Enciso’s 77th-minute free-kick hit the crossbar and Samir el Mourabet was able to tap in on the rebound.
