Crystal Palace boss Hodgson delighted with Meyer for Man Utd draw

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with Max Meyer's performance for Saturday's 0-0 draw at Manchester United.

Meyer shone for the stalemate.

Hodgson remarked, "I thought he was good last week, and he has been good in training. It was nice for him to play as well as he did, and he was one of many who had a good game.

"Of course with Max, he has been not feeling his way in, but he has been patient waiting for his chance to really grab hold of the shirt, and defy anyone to take the shirt from him.

"And I think today he must be delighted, it was a pretty faultless display from him, both attacking and defensively, and what he gives us of course is when we do get into those situations where we have good control and possession, he is capable of finding that last pass to create a goal chance."
