Joel Ward reflected on a tough, evenly fought game against Leicester City this afternoon, describing the clash as a "bitter pill to swallow."
The Palace right-back and his teammates held the visiting Foxes off until the 57th minute, when Caglar Soyuncu frustratingly headed home from a corner.
Looking back on the set-piece, Ward said: "I think when you’re in the Premier League sometimes you’ve got to hold your hands up. The delivery was good or it was a good bit of movement or this or that.
"We pride ourselves on making sure that we prepare and look at our set plays and make sure that we try and do everything we can to shut up shop.
