Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, speaking to TNT Sports: "I can't explain it. We gave the game away too easy. Maybe it was too easy. There was a lack of intensity and we didn't defend well. We can't show a consistent performance over 95 minutes very often. Once it's this, once it's that – and you get punished.
"The start was good, scoring very nice goals. We controlled everything. I've watched all the goals back and it's just not acceptable how we defended as a team – just jogging around, not in the duels, not in the second balls.
"In the second half we tried everything, but we don't deserve to win.
"I praise the boys very often for their effort. We had a great effort three days ago at Brighton, so it's not about the character. I don't know the reason [for tonight], the players usually work hard.
"When you throw the game away like we did, you don't deserve to win.
"I don't know what to do with this ball. It's not serious play. We just can't clear it. We start with a kick-off after the 2-2, we play the ball long, then they have a big chance – it's not acceptable.
"Right now, we don't have someone on the pitch who leads the team in these moments, who makes the players calm and decides about the meaning of the game – that's why we lost."
