‘It’s horrible…It feels worse than a defeat – if it’s possible’: midfielder Conor Gallagher admits his Crystal Palace side felt ‘gutted’ after conceding injury-time equaliser to Arsenal

  •  Crystal Palace were robbed of a win over Arsenal at the Emirates on Monday
  • An injury-time equaliser from Alexandre Lacazette stole an ill-deserved point
  • Arsenal stormed to an early lead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal
  • But Christian Benteke and  Odsonne Edouard handed Palace a second-half lead











Conor Gallagher admits Crystal Palace are gutted after Alexandre Lacazette scored a last-gasp equaliser to deny the Eagles a win on Patrick Vieira’s return to his old club. 

The visitors headed into injury-time with a 2-1 win seemingly secured after going behind to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s opener after just eight minutes. 

But Lacazette stole a point for Arsenal at the death to break Palace’s hearts and prevent them leapfrogging Mikel Arteta’s side into 13th.

The Eagles midfielder claims his side are ‘gutted’ and insists the draw feels ‘worse than a defeat’.

‘It’s horrible, honestly, it’s so horrible,’ said Gallagher, speaking to Sky Sports.

‘To come back from 1-0 down at Arsenal is great isn’t it? To hold on until the last 30 seconds is just horrible. We’re gutted.

‘It feels worse than a defeat – if it’s possible. Nothing’s worse than thinking you’ve got three points and to have it taken away from you. We need to learn from little mistakes.
