Burnley boss Kompany: We played well in Palace defeat

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany urged unity after defeat at Crystal Palace.

The Clarets lost 2-0 on the day, despite impressing.

Kompany said, “First of all, I want to be respectful of the opponent and sometimes you win these type of games and sometimes you don't.

“The facts are we lost but played well. We created chances and looked like a team that has something to offer in this league.

“If we play more often like this, we will get rewards. It was decided on a mistake and then the second goal, if you put into context, we put people forward and tried to get a late goal.

“We got punished trying to get that late goal, it can go either way but overall, the game was decided on mistake and not able to break our way through."

Kompany added: “Mistakes have to be less and minimal, despite the good performance and lots of chances we created.

“I trust in the players we have to finish the chances we had and we just didn't quite have that today."
