Wilfried Zaha has called on Crystal Palace to develop a "clinical" streak after their inability to convert their dominance into victory in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Everton.

The two dropped points come after a period in which some felt they deserved draws in defeats away to Newcastle and Tottenham, and when they believed their home draw with West Ham should have been won.

That Everton were awarded a penalty when Oumar Niasse appeared to dive under minimal contact furthered Palace's frustration, and Zaha told the club's official website: "We battered them but we just have to be clinical.

"You can't play that well and not finish teams off. It feels like a game lost to me to be honest, but we will take a point.

"We shouldn't give the referee that opportunity to give them a penalty to be honest, it was definitely soft but we just have to carry on.

"The main thing is that we didn't lose because that would have killed a lot of people's confidence. Picking up points every game is going to be a big thing for us. We just need to move on to the next game."
