Crystal Palace defender Ward: We failed to perform for Everton defeat

Crystal Palace defender Joel Ward admits defeat at Everton wasn't good enough.

The Eagles lost 3-0 on Merseyside.

Ward said, "I don't think we performed to where we wanted to be. It wasn't at the level of the other night and we got punished for that. There are lessons to be learnt from today and we can put it right in the next game.

"We didn't move the ball as well as we could have, we didn't control the ball as we have in previous games.

"We will analyse it and regroup. The unique thing in this club is we have such a great cohesion in the dressing room and we want to bounce back and put things right come the next game."
