Andros Townsend made a really good game during his 60 minutes but he couldn't make his team the winner of the match.
Townsend wasn't the only summer signing playing. James Tomkins played aswell.
Crystal Palace's Pardew declared after the draw:
"I thought it was a good game, there wasn’t one tackle in it that was unsavoury so it was played in a great spirit. It’s just a shame for the fans there were no goals, because fans love goals.
"We were pushing to try to win it, but in that final moment of getting that shot off we just didn’t show that usual quality, but that’s a process that comes later on in the pre-season for us.
"Our fitness levels looked good - we lacked a little bit of sharpness and cutting edge, but they still needed their keeper who made three fabulous saves in the second half down to his left-hand side. They really were top drawer".
