Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was happy with his debutants in their thrashing at Brighton.

Adam Wharton and Daniel Munoz made their debuts in the 4-1 loss after arriving during the week.

Hodgson said of Wharton: “He showed why we've bought him.

"It was a baptism of fire. He lost the ball in midfield trying to turn with it which led to a third goal, but apart from that, the rest of his performance was good I thought, and he will get better and better.

“The right-back Munoz I thought was excellent. I thought he was really, really good, and I thought we saw a wonderful second-half performance from Jefferson Lerma as well."
