Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock said he was “lost for words” after his team failed to turn superiority into a victory at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The Eagles created numerous openings at White Hart Lane and Jason Puncheon came closest with a thunderous strike that clattered against the bar late in the second half.

Yannick Bolasie, Joe Ledley and Scott Dann also had efforts saved by an inspired Hugo Lloris, as the south Londoners had to settle for a point from the goaless draw.

Palace remain one point above the Premier League dropzone.

Warnock said: “It’s not like me to say I’m lost for words but I am. We were so dominant and we had some great chances.

“I can’t fault them today, I thought we were fantastic. Julian had one shot from [Christian] Eriksen’s free-kick and I can’t remember another that bothered him.

“We played some good stuff, created havoc at times and always looked a threat. That is probably the most complete performance since I have come back to the club.”

The Selhurst Park boss was particularly impressed with Marouane Chamakh and Yannick Bolasie, but acknowledged that the Eagles must be more clinical in front of goal.

“Man of the match for me was Chamakh. I thought he was outstanding, he covered ever blade of grass,” Warnock said.

“People talk about Bolasie doing well but Wilfried [Zaha] is getting better as well. Wilfred’s never worked so hard so I was pleased with them both.

“There were two or three bits of skill that you’d never see at Barcelona would you?”

He added: “Their goalkeeper has made some fantastic saves, you have to take your hat off to him. I thought his performance was just fantastic.

“But we had some great chances. If one of the top teams had our chances they would have won three or four nil.”

With Sunderland and West Brom both drawing, Palace remain 15th, but the 66-year-old manager insisted the belief in the camp will stand the Eagles in good stead.

“We know we are limited in certain areas but we believe in ourselves,” Warnock said.

"It is about trying to be the best with what we’ve got. They are a great group, the skipper [Jedinak] is a leader and we don't suffer fools gladly."

“We believe we have a decent team. We have felt sorry for ourselves sometimes this season but we have to make our own luck, it’s down to us to get the points and not worry about decisions and positions.”
