Palace midfielder Hughes: I don't think fans were frustrated with us

Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes says the players were left floored after defeat at home to Liverpool.

Palace had the lead before the Reds stormed back to win 2-1 with two late goals.

Hughes told Premier League Productions: “Of course it's disappointing to lose in the manner in which we did, having played a large part of the game in control and had plenty of chances up until the sending-off.

“I've not seen it back so I can't really comment, but playing against 11 men, when you've got 10 men against Liverpool, is always going to be a challenge. It's disappointing.

“I don't think the [fans'] frustration was aimed at us today… because we grafted out there, we put in a shift and I thought we played well for large parts. We need their support to turn this around at home."
