Bournemouth star Justin Kluivert dropped the midfielder of Crystal Palace Ismaila Sarr during a bizarre exchange on Saturday.
The confrontation of the Premier League at the Selhurst Park – which ended in a relentless dead end – was a lively affair, with referee Samuel Barrott who spread seven yellow cards and a red card.
Chris Richards de Palace was returned controversial to half-time after picking up a second yellow card.
23 faults were made in the match and, while the Eagles were in digital disadvantage for the second half, the team of Andoni Iraola could not forge a goal of 15 shots.
While players walked during the 45 minutes, Kluivert was warned for a late challenge on the defender of the Palais Daniel Munoz, which led him to lock the horns with Sarr, who was also reserved.
Kluivert tried to play with cheeky after dirty Munoz, but Sarr had nothing when he was standing above the Cherry midfielder and arrested him.

The row started when Sarr tried to prevent Kluivert from playing after the latter committed a fault
Kluivert replied by lowering the Sarr pants, which left the exasperated palace players, and caused a battle between the two sets of players until the referee intervened and jumped his whistle.
The dismissal of Richards was the third red card of Palace in their last two games in Selhurst Park, Eddie Nketiah and Marc Guehi sent against Brighton two weeks ago.
Oliver Glasner’s team won this 2-1 game, becoming the first team in the history of the Premier League to win a home game after receiving two red cards.
But today, the Eagles have been forced to share the points with their opponents, who have lost major land in their race for Europe.
Bournemouth boss, Andoni Iraola, deplored the performance of his team after abandoning two crucial points.
He said: “Probably before the match, this is not a bad result, but given the way The Game took place, we cannot be satisfied with this point. We have missed a great opportunity.
“I think we did not use the additional player appropriately. The game has not changed much between the first half and the second.
It will be four, five teams fighting until the end and the margins will be very small.
