Crystal Palace boss Pardew frustrated after Hull thriller

Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew was left frustrated after their 3-3 draw at Hull City.

Robert Snodgrass' penalty gave Hull a 1-0 lead at the break, but, after Palace mirrored the hosts' three-man defence at the interval, the game sprung to life.

The excellent Wilfried Zaha was brought down in the area by Snodgrass, allowing Christian Benteke to equalise, before the former Manchester United winger produced a brilliant piece of skill to make it 2-1.

Hull profited from some poor defending to turn the game on its head again, with Adama Diomande levelling before Jake Livermore added a third.

But former Hull striker Campbell popped up in the 89th minute to earn Palace a point.

Pardew said: "When we take a 2-1 lead we should see the game out. We needed Fraizer to get us a very important point.

"I said to my staff before the game I fancied Fraizer today if we need a goal."

Mike Phelan was frustrated as his side scored three goals for the first time in the league this season, but failed to pick up all three points.

He said: "A win would have been massive. But when you score three goals at home and you don't win a game of football at this level then you have to find the few negatives."
