Roy Hodgson believes Crystal Palace were not rewarded for their efforts in Sunday's defeat at Chelsea. Andros Townsend cancelled out Alvaro Morata's opener early in the second half but Morata's second and a quick-fire third from Pedro sealed the Chelsea win. "At the start of the second half we played well and got back into the game," Hodgson told Sky Sports. "I was proud of the way the players kept at it and kept fighting towards the end. Having clawed themselves back into the game with Townsend's equaliser on 53 minutes, Palace handed the initiative back to Chelsea with some poor defending for Morata's second.
