Crystal Palace goalkeeper Johnstone admits Spurs frustration

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone admitted frustration after their 1-0 defeat at Tottenham.

Harry Kane proved the difference on the day.

Johnstone later said: “Frustrated not to at least get a draw. I thought we played well. It's a tough place to come but we played well and we deserved more out of the game.

“[The manager told us] that this is a club that spends a lot of money. They are a big team. He thought we were the better team and we were unlucky with the score."

“Any footballer will go out on the pitch to win the game. That's what we are still doing even though we are safe.

“It showed today: even though we lost, we put in a good performance and we were unlucky.

“I waited for my chance and now I have to keep taking it with both hands. Goalies work together every day and we support each other no matter who is playing.

“At the moment I am playing and [Vicente Guaita] is supporting me. It's nice to be on the field getting minutes and hopefully it will continue."
