Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson felt Matteo Guendouzi was lucky to stay on the pitch after his late foul on Wilfried Zaha.
The Arsenal midfielder dragged down Zaha to prevent his late run on goal.
Hodgson said, "There's no way he wanted to cause any harm, he just wanted to stop Zaha getting free because they wouldn't have caught him and it would have been a case of can he convert one on one. I think he [Guendouzi] is quite lucky he got the yellow card, some might say it was a red, but that's of no interest to me. I'm just disappointed Wilf [Zaha] didn't get chance to win the game for us.
"Today is very important, the second half performance against Manchester City gave us hope and today gives us confidence in ourselves. I don't think it was one of our best performances - we have a lot of good players who can play even better, but 2-2 against Arsenal at this time is a very good result."
