Everton captain Seamus Coleman was happy after their 0-0 draw at FA Cup opponents Crystal Palace.

Everton had Dominic Calvert-Lewin sent off in the second-half but Palace couldn't take advantage.

Coleman said: "Great game. Love coming away to Crystal Palace, it it always a tough game, great atmosphere.

"Going down to 10 men made it that bit more difficult but our resilience this year has been excellent. I never felt like we were going to concede, we stuck together which is important.

"There were a few late chances and on another day we put them away. But on the same vein we had to defend a lot of set pieces and it could have gone their way too.

"Happy with how we played - not the result - and special mention to all the fans that have come down here on a Thursday night. Their support is second to none and we appreciate it."

Oon the red card for Calvert-Lewin, he added: "When you slow it down it is obviously going to look bad. From where I was it was a good tackle. I saw the replay after and don't know who the fingers need to be pointed at, as soon as the ref goes over there [to the screen] you know he is going to give a red card.

"Listen, it has been a big talking point. For me that is not a red card and it is another decision that goes against us that maybe won't be talked about as much."
