Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has admitted that he feels "so sorry" for his players after they suffered a late 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.
The Eagles conceded the single goal in the 83rd minute when Tottenham's summer signing Victor Wanyama struck from close range.
Palace are yet to get off the mark two games into the new Premier League season having lost 1-0 to West Bromwich Albion on the opening weekend.
"We had to make a substitution at a corner, and sod's law, it's the one that goes in," Pardew told BBC Sport. "Our effort and endeavour were there to see, we matched Spurs all the way.
"We have not scored a goal yet, but I cannot fault my players. I feel so sorry for my players, they gave everything they could but it was not to be.
"We have lost on two set plays, we are a strong set play side and we will work on it and make sure it does not happen again."
Palace's next league game is at home to Bournemouth on August 27.
