Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was excited by what he saw from victory over Leicester City.

Hodgson is back in charge, having had four years in the Palace dugout from 2017-2021.

“I must honestly say that in the four years that I was lucky enough to work here before, I don't think I ever saw that quality of performance that the team gave in the first half," Hodgson reflected.

“It really was a very dominant first-half performance, and a performance that really encompassed all the things we've been trying to put into people's heads: 'You're actually very good players. If you take shots on, we think with your talent you've got enough to score goals.'

“All the things we asked for, they certainly did. Today we only got two [goals], but quite frankly with 31 shots and nine of them on target, we could have easily got a few more."
