A 96th minute penalty converted by Mateta earned Palace the point on the day.
Mateta said after the game: "We showed today our character, that we are believing every minute, and today we tried to win until the end.
"I missed in the end (the chance for the fourth goal) and I'm very frustrated, but I'm happy for that point.
“For our fans, I think it was a funny game to watch. But for us as professionals, for the gaffer, we always want three points. It’s the mentality now for Crystal Palace. For myself, we should win, but I know we’ll take the point. It’s okay.
“We conceded three goals and we were losing too many of them. But we came back, we showed our character.
"We want to win every game, have the three points every game. But we're happy to have this point too.”
