Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with their 2-0 FA Cup win over Tottenham.

Hodgson saw his team move into round five with a commanding win against their London rivals, with goals from Connor Wickham and Andros Townsend setting them on their way to victory before Kieran Trippier missed a penalty four minutes before half-time to hand Palace a healthy cushion which they protected for the remainder of the game.

Hodgson said, “We defended well throughout and had the stroke of fortune before half-time. We had the chance to go 3-0 up and then conceded the free-kick and had to defend with 10 men which gave them a spare player and they took advantage of that and forced Julian Speroni into two fantastic saves, and then shortly after that there was a penalty kick that was fairly soft, similar to ours.

“We were fortunate Trippier missed that because at 2-1 it would have been much harder in the second half. We knew they would have a lot of the ball and swarm forward with their centre-backs and midfielders, and we had to be very disciplined to keep our shape and not to go chasing the ball too high up the field and the players did that well."
