Crystal Palace's battling point against Everton on Saturday was only their fourth of the Premier League.

However, interim manager Keith Millen says his Eagles deserved all three after a host of missed chances.

He said: "Everton had a lot of possession, which we knew they would, but we kept patient and on the counter attack we had four or five very good opportunities.

“There were two headers where we really should be scoring and then Jerome Thomas when he got put through.

“You’ve got to make the keeper work really and unfortunately he tried to chip it and it went wide."

He added: “But I’d never criticise players for missing chances, I asked them to be brave today and they were, even without the ball.

“I’m very proud of them, very proud of the staff and we’ve enjoyed today.”
