The 21-year old said, “the dressing room is really down because we know we should go on and win this game when they go down to 10 men, especially at home.”
Palmer netted both goals for Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues in the 44th minute from the penalty spot, and 78th minute.
In his post-match comments, Palmer said: “That simply can’t happen.
“To go in front against 10 men and then lose the lead, at home, it’s just not good enough.
“The dressing room is really down because we know we should go on and win this game when they go down to 10 men, especially at home.
“It’s a similar story if we are being honest. We have to take responsibility and improve on this as players.
“We fashioned many chances but couldn’t put them away and at the other end, there were times where we were sloppy in our defensive work. It’s just really disappointing not to win the game.
“I think we switched off too many times all over the pitch, especially for their goals. That can’t happen and if we are going to improve as a team, we need to find some consistency.
“Overall we need to sharpen up in both boxes. We need to be solid in defence and become more clinical at the other end.”
The Englishman has scored 13 goals in 24 Premier League games for Chelsea.
