Dean Henderson was delighted with his Crystal Palace debut in their 2-2 draw at Manchester City.

It marked a first Premier League appearance since January for the former Manchester United goalkeeper.

It was an unbelievable result to come here and get a draw," Henderson told Premier League Productions. It's fantastic.

I loved every minute of it, being back on the pitch. I think it's nearly been a year since I last played [in the Premier League] so I'm delighted.

Obviously you're busy against these guys [City]. They're a world-class team and you've just got to stay in the game as long as you can, and hopefully catch them on the break, which we did.

We stuck to the game plan. The manager [Roy Hodgson] was unbelievable with his messages through the week. We stuck to it and the boys deserve all the credit, because it's hard work out there against them.

We're all pulling in the right direction and there's a great team spirit here. Obviously we've got injuries, but everyone's pulling together, filling holes, and we've young lads coming onto the bench and that. Everyone to a man was unbelievable today.

It's been emotional, but I'm delighted to be back."
