Dimitar Berbatov’s strike saw the Lilywhites come out second best.

The result means that Chelsea have reovertaken them into third spot, while Arsenal could close to within a point of Spurs if they win their game in hand.

“We’re all disappointed,” Parker told the club’s official website. “You don’t want to make excuses but we just a looked a bit flat.

“Having said that, I don’t think we deserved to lose the game. They hit us on the break and scored a goal, so it was difficult. Mark Schwarzer then produced an unbelievable save at the end. It was one of those days for us.

“We need to stay positive now, that’s the main thing.

“I’ve always said that you can’t mope around in these situations. Okay, it was a bad result, but we need to look forward now.

“It’s not ideal how it went and everyone’s frustrated, us, the fans, but we’re still in a good position and we need to keep going.”
