Crystal Palace midfielder: Everyone at Manchester City wrote us off

CRYSTAL Palace midfielder Stuart O’Keefe has warned Premier League clubs to write the Eagles off at their peril.
The club have been revitalised since Tony Pulis’ arrival in November, picking up four wins out of their last eight games and moving out of the relegation zone.
And following an impressive display against a Manchester City side that are extremely strong at home, O’Keefe believes everyone at the Etihad Stadium was expecting a drubbing before kick-off.
“Everyone wrote us off and I think that played into our favour,” he exclusively told the Advertiser.
“Everyone at City, from their staff, fans, players even – the way we set up, we were never going to lose six, seven or eight nil.
“We had a couple of good chances to get a point which, if we had taken them, it would not have been undeserved.
“Coming to places like Manchester City, you know you’re not going to have much of the ball – and we didn’t – but it’s what you do with it.
“We used it quite well and confidently. For Joe Hart to get man of the match says it all really.
“We were solid, we never really got cut open and everyone did their jobs well.
“Everyone was really pleased and we can take it into the Norwich game and our good run of form.”
