Alan Pardew was not impressed with Crystal Palace's poor defending in their "crazy" 5-4 loss versus Swansea on Saturday.

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew was furious with his side's defending after Saturday's dramatic 5-4 defeat at the hands of Swansea - their sixth Premier League loss in a row.

Pardew's men scored three times in 10 minutes to turn a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 lead in the closing stages of the game at the Liberty Stadium, seemingly lifting the pressure off Pardew's shoulders.

They could not hang on, though, as Swansea lifted themselves off the bottom with two goals in stoppage time in one of the most spectacular finales in Premier League history.
