Palace had subdued Everton during the opening period with the visitors creating chances of their own through Yohan Cabaye and Christian Benteke. But just 45 seconds into the re-start, Everton were ahead and Hodgson was left to rue his side's shortcomings. "We were punished because we made some defensive mistakes and Everton profited from those mistakes by scoring the goals that put us behind in the game but it wasn't a question of us surrendering the goals. "Unfortunately, mistakes are part of the game and we were punished for them."
