Crystal Palace goalkeeper Guaita plays down heroics for Fulham point

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita played down his heroics for yesterday's 0-0 draw with Fulham.

The Spaniard deflected individual praise for what Roy Hodgson called a "match-winning' save as he commended the team for improving recent performances.

"For me, the most important is the performance for the team," he told Palace T, halfway through a question on his own heroics. "The team has a good performance - last week, not so much - but this week is better. This performance was good."

The Spaniard continued to explain his view on the clash, saying: "This is the most important: work, work, work. If you don't work, it's difficult for three points or one point. Against Brighton and today with Fulham, I think it was good performances because it was all the team together working hard.

"[We earned an] important point. Today was very important to come back with a point. Last game was a big game with three points, today it's one point - it's better with three but one point [helps us] stay in the Premier League."
