Speaking to Match of the day, Crystal Palace Manager Roy Hodgson said: "We've had bad luck with defenders, it's testing are reserves in that respect. Patrick [van Aanholt] has hardly missed a game and I don't know how long it takes to mend a dislocated shoulder but I can only hope he comes back again next season.

"We done so well, I thought we put in just as much effort as they did and we still came away with nothing and on the end of another defeat, which is hard to take."
On VAR decisions: "What’s the point in getting into it? If I said it was, they say it wasn't, it becomes like a Christmas pantomime.
Crystal Palace defender Patrick Van Aanholt obviously not happy with the VAR decision against his side, said: "... decisions against us but that's football" ⬇
"I thought it was a good goal. That’s what VAR gives us at the moment. If that had been scored against us I wouldn’t be expecting it to ruled out but that’s what we have to take now."Boys put in a strong game, decisions against us 👎🏽 but that's football 🤷🏽♂️ love to my football community especially Palace & MUFC fans ❤️💙 I'm a little woo woo off that gas ⛽️ but I'm aite 🙏🏽— Patrick van Aanholt (@pvanaanholt) July 16, 2020
