Ian Holloway: 'It was a cracking game'

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has described this evening's 0-0 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion in the Championship playoffs as a "cracking game".

The Eagles boss was at a loss to explain how his side did not break the deadlock in the semi-final first leg, and insisted that they gave as good as they got.

"It was a cracking game. Brighton came at us in the first half, but we responded well. How we didn't score I don't know. It's all to play for on Monday," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

Brighton and Palace will meet in the second leg on Monday evening.
