Hodgson: Same old story for Palace

"A little bit of Groundhog Day when we play against these top teams," Hodgson said after the game.

"We played quite well in the second half I thought, we controlled the ball better and created the better chances ourselves.

"But unfortunately we also conceded the two goals in that half, which would have seemed more likely in the first half when they had a lot of possession and put us under a lot of pressure.

"So it is a very disappointing day again. During the course of the second half at 1-1, I really did think we were at least going to hold that and possibly even score the winning goal.

"But for them to get the winning goal so close to the end of the game is tough to take."
