Crystal Palace assistant coach Paddy McCarthy praised the players after their 1-1 draw at Everton on Monday night.

On a night when Roy Hodgson was replaced by Oliver Glasner as Palace manager, the visitors took the lead through Jordan Ayew before Everton fought back for the draw via Amadou Onana.

McCarthy said: "It was a wonderful goal by Jordan Ayew, but we couldn't hold on. We knew Everton would hold us to some questions from set plays and I am disappointed we conceded, but ultimately we are happy with the point and we move on."

On Glasner being in the stands, he stated: "There is lots of quality and he is coming into a squad with a lot of character, there is lots of positives he will have seen and I am sure he cannot wait to get to work with them.

"I am sure they were aware he was watching on, the players are professional and they deserve a lot of credit.

"The players are flexible and we utilised that system against Man City and Man Utd away, I am sure he will enjoy working with this great group of lads."

On him remaining at Palace, McCarthy added: "Listen, it has been full focus on preparing for the game and I have not had any conversation with the hierarchy on my position - I am sure that will become clear in the next couple of days."
