Roy Hodgson believes Crystal Palace are 'building momentum' in bid to climb out of drop zone after battling draw at rivals Brighton

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson was content to pick up a point in a 0-0 draw at bitter rivals Brighton but feels his struggling side have more to offer.

The bottom-of-the-table Eagles ended a run of eight successive Premier League away defeats dating back to April last season at a sold-out Amex Stadium, although they remain without a goal on the road during that period.

Christian Benteke, making his first start since September following a knee injury, and Wilfried Zaha were denied by a fantastic first-half double save from Albion goalkeeper Mathew Ryan.

Palace could have lost it late on when former striker Glenn Murray had a header blocked on the line by Andros Townsend.
