Crystal Palace defender James Tomkins admits results went their way after defeat at Tottenham last night.

Both relegation rivals Brighton & Hove Albion and Cardiff City lost last night.

Reflecting on the other results, Tomkins conceded that Palace can feel grateful that neither the Seagulls or Bluebirds were able to advance any higher up the Premier League table.

He said: "Sometimes it's not nice looking at other results and hoping for losses here and there but that's the reality of it. Hopefully we can get some points on the board from now until the end of the season."
