Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says Vicente Guaita has his total backing.

An uncharacteristic error from Guaita handed Sheffield United the only goal of the game at Selhurst Park last week.

But Hodgson revealed that he, the club and the Spaniard aren't dwelling on that moment against Chris Wilder's side.

He said: "He's been very good. Goalkeepers unfortunately are in that position at the cutting edge of football, everyone can see the error the goalkeeper makes, everyone can see the error the centre-forward makes when he misses a golden chance. There's a lot of people in between who make quite a few mistakes but they get away with it because a goal doesn't come about.

"We made it perfectly clear to him – the whole club, really: 'listen, mistakes happen. It's good you hold your hand up, and admit the mistake is yours. But the fact is we are not concerned about that because you've done so many good things for us, and we are where we are in the league largely thanks to some of your performances."
