Crystal Palace boss Hodgson on stunning Leeds win: I don't have a magic wand

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson insisted there was no magic formula to his side's win over Leeds United.

The London outfit emerged with a sensational 5-1 win away from home on Sunday in the Premier League.

Despite trailing in the first half, Palace got level and dominated the second half to run away with the game.

“All you can do as a coach is give people the confidence to do the things you can see in training and not be affected by the noise outside when things aren't going your way," Hodgson told reporters post-game.

“It's not a magic wand type of situation. It's a perfect start. The training has been fantastic, the sun has been shining. It's nice to be back.

“Everything couldn't be better so far but I know there are different types of days ahead and one day I'll be answering very different questions. I have to enjoy these moments as they won't last forever."
