Danny Ings' 12th goal of the season salvaged a point for Southampton
Danny Ings capitalised on an error by Martin Kelly to earn Southampton a share of the spoils at home to Crystal Palace.
Ings pounced on Kelly's misplaced backpass before slotting confidently past Vicente Guaita for his 12th league goal of the season.
James Tomkins - making his 350th career appearance - had given the visitors the lead early in the second half, heading Luka Milivojevic's delivery into the net via the underside of the crossbar.
Max Meyer thought he had put Palace ahead before half-time, but the German's effort was disallowed by the video assistant referee for a marginal offside call against Palace winger Wilfried Zaha.
Southampton threw caution to the wind following Ings' equaliser and went close to snatching all three points through James Ward-Prowse, but the midfielder's goal-bound free-kick was palmed to safety by Guaita.
The result lifts Saints four points clear of the relegation zone, while Palace stay ninth on 26 points.
