Roy Hodgson feels "more than satisfied" with what his injury-plagued Crystal Palace side have achieved, despite conceding a late equaliser in their 1-1 draw with Brighton last night. 

Substitute Danny Welbeck nodded past home debutant Dean Henderson in the 82nd minute to cancel out Jordan Ayew's opener and ensure the rivals' fifth consecutive Premier League meeting at Selhurst Park ended in exactly the same scoreline. 

Palace, in 15th and nine points clear of the bottom three, are now winless in seven and the unfortunate holders of the longest winless streak in the top flight after surpassing Nottingham Forest's six. 

Asked if he was feeling any extra pressure, particlularly with a trip to Stamford Bridge up next, Hodgson said: "Well, I suppose that's football. 

"If I suggest that every time a team slides down the table the manager should feel under pressure, then I suppose I should feel under pressure. 

"But I don't believe the players can be doing much more than they are doing at the moment, so if that is pressure, I don't feel it. No, not at all. 

"Don’t forget the next game is Chelsea. I mean, the bottom line is we have to accept that we know what we're capable of. 

"We also know that even if we bring the absolute maximum of what we're capable of, if you play a Liverpool, Man City and Brighton it’s going to be a tough ask. 

"If after those three performances you can sit here as I am doing tonight and be more than satisfied with what the team has achieved, maybe that counts more."
