Sheffield United remain without a win all season as they crept ever closer to a return to the Championship with a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
Jeffrey Schlupp opened the scoring after just four minutes before he was forced off with an injury and made way for Eberechi Eze.
The England under-21 international then ran from deep inside his own half past a couple of weak challenges before slotting into the far corner in first-half stoppage time.
A first win in six games eased the Eagles' woes and moved them up to 12th.
The Blades, meanwhile, remain on just two points from 17 games, 11 adrift of safety.
