Oliver Glasner was proud of his team’s raffle with Bournemouth after his strong consecutive defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle.
The Eagles lost 5-2 in Ethiad last Saturday and lost 5-0 duration during the week against Newcastle.
Glasner’s team was reduced to 10 men against cherries before part time, but excluded the advantage of Andoni Iraola’s man in the second half to claim a point.

Palace goes to Arsenal on Wednesday and plays Aston Villa in the semifinal of the FA Cup on Saturday in Wembley.
Glasner said: “When you enter a game with 10 goals on your shoulders that you fooked in the last two games, it is not easy.
“We could see that we were not full of confidence in the first half. We were defending OK, but then we got a red card. You can collapse as a team, but the players did the opposite.
“We show a great effort and performance of the team. We defended well.
“We tried to find the right moments to move on. We had five dangerous situations in the Bournemouth box. I am very satisfied with the performance in the second half, with the performance and the spirit.
“We have begun to win our trust. It is not easy to play 50 minutes in the Premier League with one less player and not grant a goal.”

“We were praised by our defense for many weeks, but we saw the opposite in the last week.
“Seeing it again in these circumstances is not easy. The players did it outstanding.
“With everything that happened in the last week, what they showed today was exceptional.
“I am absolutely delighted.”
