Blackpool substitute Nouha Dicko scored a last-minute equaliser at Crystal Palace to deny Ian Holloway a victory against his former club in the Championship, yesterday.

Crystal Palace went 1-0 down in the first half when Nathan Delfouneso converted Tom Ince’s cross, but Holloway, who managed the Seasiders for three-and-a-half years, rallied his troops at the break.

Owen Garvan equalised with a perfect header and Glenn Murray’s 18th goal of the season put the hosts ahead.

However, Dicko had the final say, making it 2-2 in the last minute by turning home a Wes Thomas cross.

The result left Crystal Palace three points adrift of leaders Cardiff in the standings. Late Friday, Cardiff beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1 to sustain their promotion charge.
