Crystal Palace boss Glasner: Luton draw hurts

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner admits their draw with Luton "hurts".

Jean-Philippe Mateta's opener was canceled out by Luton's Cauley Woodrow in injury-time.

“It hurts, the draw hurts today because I think we deserved the win," the manager said. “We did many things very well and we didn't decide the game where we could decide it, so we had a lot of opportunities.

“Luton is a team that always believes that they can score a goal and in this one situation we were too passive, we didn't have pressure on the ball. It didn't happen many times in the game but you know sometimes you have to feel the hurt that you can improve things and this is what we do.

“It hurts but I'm sure that in future games, if we have the same game, we would win it."

Glasner also said: “Yes, we are disappointed but I'm really full of hope and full of belief in this team that we will get our results and points in the future games," he said. “I don't remember when we had so many opportunities to score and two times it was post [and] out and at the end it was post [and] in for Luton.

“Maybe we need this feeling although nobody wants to have it but for development sometimes you need this."
