Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock baffled by failure to beat Tottenham Hotspur

Neil Warnock is "lost for words" as to how Crystal Palace did not claim three points from their goalless Premier League draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock said that he was "lost for words" as to how his side did not beat Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Eagles had the better chances in a 0-0 draw and were only denied three points from White Hart Lane by the excellence of Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

Warnock hailed the performances of attacking trio Yannick Bolasie, Wilfried Zaha and Marouane Chamakh, but was left baffled and frustrated that they could not get the goal which he is adamant Palace deserved.

"I'm lost for words. I can't understand how we've not won," he told reporters. "The way we played, we deserved the points. The lads played some good stuff and it took a great goalkeeping performance to stop us getting the three points.

"We played some good stuff, created havoc at times and always looked a threat. I don't know how many times I put my head in my hands today as I thought we'd scored that many.

"Wilfried and Bolaise were brilliant, but my man of the man was Chamakh - he covered every blade of grass."
