Crystal Palace defender Andersen: We should've beaten West Ham easily

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen insists they didn't deserve their 3-2 defeat to West Ham.

Palace were 3-0 down at one stage and Andersen insists their fight-back deserved more.

The Dane said, "We've played West Ham two times now and both times we have dominated them. I think we should win this game easy. They had two chances and a penalty which isn't a penalty. We should win this game.

"Maybe we should have scored a bit earlier. We scored late which makes it difficult but we had a chance to make it 3-3."

On West Ham's penalty, he added: "For me his [Luka Milivojevic's] arm is close to his body so it isn't a penalty. It's obvious it isn't a penalty.

"We had so many chances in the first half and that gave us the hope. We spoke at half-time that we will create the chances we just had to take them. The penalty made it difficult at 3-0 before half-time. It's a tough one to take."
