A draw was a fair result – Crystal Palace attacker Jeffery Schlupp after Burnley clash

Crystal Palace attacker Jeffery Schlupp is content with his side 1-1 stalemate against Burnley at the Selhurst Park on Saturday.

The Black Stars midfielder opened the scoring for the Eagles in a first half dominated by Crystal Palace.

However, a sloppy second half from the hosts saw Burnley level through an own goal from Luka Milvejevic.

After the game, Schlupp expressed his disappointment but noted a draw against Burnley was fair.

“We went 1-0 up in the first-half and started the second-half really sloppy. They scored the goal and I thought it was a bit of a scrappy game in the end and a well-earned point.”

“I thought we started well,” he reflected. “We started on the front foot, had a couple of half-chances, some good moments and managed to get the goal we wanted. I think we probably needed to try and kill the game off in the first-half, to be honest.

“We had some good moments. In the second-half of course we had some good chances but I thought it was probably a bit of a 50/50 second-half and a draw was a fair result.

“We worked so hard for it in the first-half and to come out and start the second-half the way we did is not acceptable. We got punished straight await. We know what the Premier League is like and what Burnley are going to bring and they came up for it and it was a good battle in the end.”
