Fraizer Campbell struck twice as Crystal Palace were held by Vancouver Whitecaps in the final pre-season friendly of their tour to the United States and Canada.

The Eagles came from behind to lead as Campbell scored a second-half brace, but Kendall Waston equalised with 12 minutes remaining as Palace maintained their unbeaten start to the summer schedule.

Andros Townsend had a hand in both Palace goals as Alan Pardew experimented with a 3-5-2 formation, but assitant manager Keith Millen was disappointed with the manner in which Palace surrendered the advantage.

"We really enjoyed the game," Millen said after the game. "We weren't happy with some of the goals we conceded but for the fans I was pleased that there were some goals in the game. It became very end-to-end but that happens when you make a lot of substitutions.

"Our fitness levels have improved but our match levels are what we're looking at now. Some of our players got 90 minutes today for the first time and everyone got some minutes so we're in a good place.

"We've really enjoyed being in the city and hospitality - we've been treated well and so I'm glad we put a spectacle on for the fans tonight."
