Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessey: Penalty decision destroyed us

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey says Liverpool's penalty call "destroyed" them last night.

James Milner's penalty just before half time, which gave Liverpool the advantage after Mamadou Sakho was adjudged to have fouled Mohamed Salah, was a decision that was difficult to take for the home side.

Hennessey told cpfc.co.uk: “I actually thought we played very well but the decision just before half time destroyed us, I haven't seen it again but a few of the lads are saying there wasn't enough contact for him to go down or for a penalty so we feel very hard done by.

“Like I say I thought we played really well and crucial decisions cost us but we gave a great performance and had chances, we hit the bar with a fantastic shot from Andros and on another day that goes in."
