Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce angry with ref after Everton defeat

Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce was angry after defeat at home to Everton.

Allardyce claimed Seamus Coleman's goal should have been disallowed for offside after Everton's 1-0 win at Selhurst Park left Crystal Palace in the Premier League relegation zone.

"He was offside, which was my suspicion when I looked at it in the dressing room," Allardyce said.

"It's two-fold: having a blip in not being able to get a sub on, playing with 10 men, and then the offside decision that could have been given by the assistant, which was an easy one.

"It's right down his side, right in front of him, but it wasn't to be. We're very disappointed we haven't got that 0-0 and clean sheet scenario we need to start building on. We'd have been delighted with a 0-0. It's difficult to take we didn't get that.

"When Jeffrey Schlupp had done a great job on Coleman, he wasn't there to do it when he scored. If Jeffrey had stayed on, I don't think Coleman would have stayed in that position."
