shadow of a doubt.”

Town have just one point from three home matches and Wagner added: “We are disappointed because of the result, because we deserved more,

“We will certainly take the positives forward, and there are a lot of positives to come out of this game.

“At the end, we know we should have scored, which we haven’t done.

“This is for two reasons. We were unlucky, for sure, and in some offensive situations we have to do it better.”

Wagner did not use No10 Alex Pritchard, opting to change his side with substitutes Diakhaby (for Kachunga) and then sending on, in a double switch, Laurent Depoitre and on-loan wingman Isaac Mbenza.

“The goal Palace scored, we have to defend it better, and this would be very easy,” added Wagner.

“But in the last three performances, to be totally honest I think we have looked very solid defensively.

“Here, we know we were able to compete in midfield and we were able to create a lot of opportunities.

“So I will focus on the positives and also keep my eye on the things we can do better.”

Wagner concluded: “We are all in football long enough to know that sometimes you don’t get what you deserve.

“For sure, we deserved something out of this performance because it was the best performance of the season.

“We deserved more, but for this you also need luck.

“We were unlucky in so many situations, but you then also have to make sure you don’t make one single mistake, and we made that mistake when Zaha scored.”
