Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson says there's positives to draw from defeat at Chelsea.

Palace lost 2-1 on Wednesday night, though only via a last minute penalty.

"The team set up and played really well," Henderson told Palace TV. We got the ball down, we passed it about, we showed some good courage to get on the ball and everyone to a man played really well.

We created some good opportunities and we were unfortunate. Obviously, we had some breakaways and just lacked a bit of quality in the final third.

To be honest, the kick in the teeth at the end with the penalty, it's really tough to take."

He also stated: What I would say as well is that we're getting in these positions and hopefully it's going to click.

I'm sure people can see we're playing really well at the moment.

Things just aren't quite going our way. That's football. It's unfortunate. It was almost like we'd have been disappointed with a draw and then we go on to lose the game somehow.

It's really disappointing. I thought we defended really well as a unit today as well. I thought everyone to a man again was really good. Just that last bit and hopefully that'll come really soon."
