Roy Hodgson believes that for the third game in a row, his Palace side performed well against one of the Premier League’s elite but just came up a little short after losing 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur.
Juan Foyth netted the all-important goal to condemn the Eagles to a fifth defeat from six home games this term, but just like the matches that saw a point claimed against Arsenal a fortnight ago and a defeat against Chelsea in their previous encounter, Hodgson couldn’t fault the effort of his players despite the result not going the way he had hoped.
