Stoke City held at Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have earned a replay against Stoke City with a goalless draw in the third round of the FA Cup at home.

The Potters made most of the running in the opening exchanges, Peter Crouch shooting wide from inside the six-yard box in the 12th minute.

Crouch had another chance to break the deadlock at Selhurst Park in the first half, but failed to keep his header from Ryan Shotton's cross on target.

Andre Moritz had a good chance for Palace in the 34th minute when he found himself with the ball on the edge of the Stoke penalty area, but failed to find the target with his left foot.

Michael Kightly tried his luck for Tony Pulis's side in the early minutes of the second half from just outside the home team's box, but in vain.

Chances were few and far between for either side for the rest of the match, as Palace earn a replay against their Premier League opponents.
