Shelbourne coach Joey O'Brien felt they could've earned more from their home defeat to Crystal Palace on Thursday night.

Palace won their Europa Conference League tie 3-0 thanks to goals from Christantus Uche, Eddie Nketiah and Yeremy Pino.

But O'Brien argued:  "It's been massive.

"We'll do a deeper review after next week, but I think we'll look back to certain games where we were the stronger team, I felt, but missed big chances.

"They stuck at it, I'm proud of them. It's important to have that mindset when you're playing against a quality side and it leads onto next week, another big opportunity for us."
