Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey admits Crystal Palace were left "devastated" by their 1-0 home defeat to Everton on Saturday.

Palace have not won in the Premier League since December 3 - the only victory in their last 16 top-flight matches - and the dreadful run has seen them slide into the bottom three.

Seamus Coleman's goal three minutes from time condemned Palace to their fourth straight defeat and they have only picked up one point under new manager Sam Allardyce.

Hennessey made a string of fine saves at Selhurst Park to keep Palace in the game but feels the Eagles' luck needs to change at the other end of the pitch.

"It's not like we're playing and not creating chances or anything like that," he told the club's website.

"We're actually doing really well - it's just not running for us at the moment (in the final third); hopefully that can change.

"We're devastated right now.

"I'm proud [of his own performance], but I'm in that position to get clean sheets and I haven't produced many clean sheets, I've only got one this season. I need to start keeping more clean sheets."

Recent signing Jeffrey Schlupp added: "There are though plenty of positives to take from the game, we created a lot and looked dangerous going forward. We need to take that into the next game and start picking up some points."
