Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson praised their performance in defeat to Arsenal on Monday night.
Martin Odegaard converted a penalty won by Eddie Nketiah early in the second-half before Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu was sent off.
Hodgson said, I thought the shape of the team was good. I thought the team discipline was very good too. We worked very, very hard.
I thought when we had the chance to get in the ascendancy when they went down to 10 men, we took that opportunity and got players forward and got the ball in and around their goal ,and made them clear it as many times as we possibly could.
You have to give Arsenal credit for their defensive organisation. They got the blocks in when they were necessary. Their goalkeeper was there also to make a few saves from the crosses.
I don't know if I could have asked that much more from the players in that situation, or more from the players in that 90 minutes. It was a very well organised performance and disciplined performance. On another day, we wouldn't have conceded a penalty, and on another day, we could have had an equaliser despite the penalty."
