Alan Pardew: "We should have won"

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew feels that his side should have defeated Newcastle United in their Premier League clash at Selhurst Park as the teams played out a 1-1 draw.

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew believes that his side should have beaten his former club Newcastle United in their 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park.

The Magpies took a 1-0 lead into half time as Papiss Cisse fired them ahead just before the break, but Palace found an equaliser in the 71st minute through Fraizer Campbell.

Pardew's men had opportunities to take the win, including when Brede Hangeland saw his header well saved by Tim Krul, but the Eagles were forced to settle for the point.

Pardew told BBC Sport: "I thought we should have won. We started well but the chances were few and far between. Newcastle only had one shot on target but scored.

"We struggled to break them down, but we scored a great goal - it was a really special cross and we deserved to get something out of the game.

"We had plenty of options on the bench and in the end the bench made a difference. Yannick Bolasie and Dwight Gayle came on and upped the tempo for us. It was nice to see my old team and my friends from the club. We took a point and we should be pretty pleased with that."

Palace are 13th in the Premier League, five points clear of the relegation zone.
