Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson admits he's delighted with the form of Odsonne Edouard.

Hodgson was speaking before today's clash with Fulham.

“We were pretty happy with [Odsonne] last season too, but no doubt in summer we did see him make a step forwards," the manager said. “Like anything else, you come into a club and see 10 games and sometimes you need to bed in to make that next step.

“We saw in summer that he was bedding in quite well… luckily that has carried on to this season. Ever more fortuitously in some ways is him having a strike partner, someone who also plays up-front in Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is playing very well. When he has been called upon to do something he has stepped onto the field and he has done it."
