Patrick Vieira makes 'immature' Crystal Palace admission after Napoli defeat in Turkey

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira says the 3-1 defeat to Napoli has shown the defensive improvement the Eagles still need to make.

A winter trip to Turkey concluded with a defeat against the Serie A side yesterday (Sunday), with Palace losing out 3-1 after Wilfried Zaha had given the Eagles the lead on 33 minutes, only for Victor Osimhen to equalise two minutes later before two second half goals from Giacomo Raspadori gave Napoli victory.

Despite the loss, Vieira was pleased with aspects of what he saw from his side, adding that there were positives for him and his players from the trip away, which also included a 2-2 draw with Turkish side Trabzonspor.
