Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen admits their draw with Brighton left them frustrated.

Palace had the lead through Jordan Ayew before Danny Welbeck's late headed equaliser.

It's a frustration," Andersen told Sky Sports. I think we played really good first-half and I thought we'd been better in having clear-cut chances. It's normal they'd have the ball more they play well but then they scored a fantastic goal.

I don't know how he [Welbeck] could head that ball in from there. It was a fantastic goal, and that's just quality from them to be honest.

I think we played a decent match. We got tired in the second-half but I don't think they had many clear-cut chances, so I think everyone fought well and we did what we spoke about before the game."

He added: Of course, it [Brighton's style] was hard [to play against]. We need to run a lot, have high intensity to press Like I said, I think we did well in that, and it was a step in the right direction."
