Crystal Palace lost 4-0 to Sunderland today.

Four-nil. At home. To Sunderland, their relegation rivals.

David Moyes’ Sunderland.

To make matters even worse for the home fans at Selhurst Park, Palace were losing 4-0 at half-time.

Bottom of the table Sunderland would have been happy to beat any team. But to hammer the team managed by their former manager must have been very sweet.

And Sam Allardyce must really wish he was still England manager.

One Palace supporter was so angered by what he saw from Allardyce’s side, he took his frustrations out on Damien Delaney.

The supporter invaded the pitch and confronted the Irish defender as he attempted to leave the pitch at half-time.

Stewards were quick to react though, and restrained the man, who has most likely attended his last Palace game.

Palace ended the day second from bottom, level on points with Sunderland and two points from safety.
