Crystal Palace attacker Ebere Eze stressed the positives after defeat at Tottenham on Saturday.

Eze had Palace ahead on 59 minutes before Spurs fought back to win 3-1.

He later said, “Yeah, it's frustrating, of course, but we know that with a new manager [Oliver Glasner], we're learning a new style of play and we put in a good performance for 70 minutes.

“It was difficult towards the end. It's very tough to play here, but we can be positive going into the next game, for sure.

“It's tough, but the intensity that we're playing at is so much higher than we've done before, so to maintain that for 90 minutes is not easy, but I'm sure we're going to get there over the next few weeks.

“We'll be putting in better performances, we feel a lot stronger, so it's more building more than anything."

On his goal, he added: “I'm grateful to God. First and foremost, you just want to be playing and enjoying yourself. But, of course, it would have been so much better if we won today."
