James Ward-Prowse has scored five free-kicks in the league since the beginning of last seasonSouthampton saw their winless run in the Premier League stretch to six games despite two superb goals in an entertaining draw at Crystal Palace.
First James Ward-Prowse whipped a free-kick into the top corner and then Armando Broja drilled in from long range to send the visitors into the break with the lead.
Saints had fallen behind inside two minutes at Selhurst Park when Wilfried Zaha was allowed time to fire a low effort beyond Willy Caballero.
Palace could not build on that confident start, with Odsonne Edouard wasting a glorious chance to double the lead for Patrick Vieira's side.
But the forward, who set up Zaha for the opener, dragged an effort across goal in the second half and Jordan Ayew turned it in from a tight angle to earn the hosts a point.
Palace climb to 11th as a result, while Southampton remain 15th, six points above the relegation zone.
