Roy Hodgson says Tottenham Hotspur’s ability to take their chances was the key factor in Palace’s 4-1 defeat.
“I’m disappointed to lose the game so heavily,” he said in his post-match interview, “but as Harry Kane said to me after the game, they really took their chances today.
“We had got back into the game. We didn’t play that well going forward for a long period of the first-half, but just before the end we started to play a bit better and scored a very good goal. At 1-1 at half-time, we thought that was good and we’d be back in the game.
