Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes his side did not deserve to lose their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.
Joel Ward scored a dramatic late winner in a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge, subjecting Chelsea to their first home league defeat since April 2014.
"Congratulations to Palace," he told BBC Sport. "It's a fantastic result for them and a very good performance.
"We didn't deserve to lose. But Palace gave us a very difficult game.
"The result should be a draw, which would still be bad for us. We did enough not to lose.
"We had good opportunities, a huge penalty appeal at 0-0.
"My two centre-backs and keeper played a very good game. We created lots of chances but we had a couple of players who were not in the game.
"When the team is not consistent and there aren't 10 players on the pitch at a certain level it's difficult.
"I said before the season, it'd be more difficult to win matches against non-title candidates as they all have good players and good teams - like West Ham winning at Liverpool [also on Saturday]."
