Crystal Palace defender Scott Dann has urged his teammates to be more lethal in front of goal.

The Eagles were unable to put Tottenham to the sword on Saturday after spurning several clear-cut chances and had to settle for a 0-0 draw.

Dann, who helped his team to a clean sheet and had a headed chance well saved by Hugo Lloris, says the Eagles players must find that killer instinct in the final third.

"It was a great result and you don’t come away from White Hart Lane too many times feeling a bit disappointed you didn’t take three points," he said.

"On chances too, we probably deserved to win the game. We need to take confidence from it and if we can just get that end product in front of goal then we’ll start picking up more points.

"We’re getting into really good positions and the two wide lads (Yannick Bolasie and Wilfried Zaha) were fantastic. They did a shift going backwards but caused Spurs problems going forward.

"If we can get a few on the end of some crosses, I’m sure we’ll start picking up points. We didn’t want to go there and feel sorry for ourselves after the Villa defeat. Even though we conceded the goal we still should have won with the chances.

"In the big scheme of things, we were disappointed not to put one of our chances away. We felt confident at the back, they may have had one or two half chances but they didn’t have many throughout the game."
