Neil Warnock has responded to a scathing attack on him by Crystal Palace midfielder Jason Puncheon on Twitter.

Puncheon blasted Warnock in a series of tweets which he then deleted following criticism of his missed penalty during Palace's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

"He's made comments that I know nothing about and if it's been suggested that I've done anything untoward, then I can confirm that I most certainly have not," The Telegraph quotes Warnock as saying.

"The matter is being addressed with him directly now on my behalf."

Warnock signed Puncheon on loan from Southampton for Queens Park Rangers in 2011.
