Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock lambasted his defence, for their
concession of the decisive goal in their 1-0 loss to Aston Villa.
Christian
Benteke scored what turned out to be the winner in the 32nd minute at
Selhurst Park, robbing centre-back Scott Dann of possession on the left
sideline before storming on goal and finishing from outside the penalty
area.
Dann, 27, is into his eighth season of playing in either the Premier
League or Championship, but Warnock still said he had a lesson to learn
out of Benteke's goal.
"I think he [Dann] should have kicked it over the stand and not be ashamed to do it," Warnock said.
Warnock also conceded Dann's partner in the centre of defence also should have closed down the dangerous Benteke's space.
"There were two or three things, though, I thought Brede could have
come out [quicker] but it's the decisions we make and you stand or
fall," the former QPR boss said.
"Unfortunately for Scott, who's probably been our best player defensive wise, it's a cruel punishment.
"But hopefully you learn from that you can't score in Row Z, can you?"
