Eberechi Eze admits Brentford defeat was hard to swallow

According to attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze, he believed he should have found the back of the net during the match.

Eze had a direct freekick disallowed by the referee for a soft foul by a Palace player as it was being taken.

“It’s tough to take, but I think the main thing is (putting in) good performances, and over the course of the season you're going to win more games,” he told the BBC.

“It’s difficult to take, but we'll move on.”

“I was told that he blew too early, he said he made a mistake,” he added.

“It's something that maybe could have changed the game, but we have to deal with it. We had so many more chances as well, so it's not like that was our only chance.

“But it was a good performance, I think if we put in performances like that we will do well so it’s something to build on.”
