Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was happy with their 5-0 rout of Bristol City.

Having five different goalscorers will please any manager, and Hodgson singled out Max Meyer, Connor Wickham and Christian Benteke in particular for their contributions.

He said, "I was pleased to see Max got that goal because he was in three or four times before that with good runs and good moves, but couldn't quite get the final touch to make the goal.

"Very satisfied with Christian Benteke, really pleased to see him score a goal as well, same goes for Connor Wickham.

"All we can do now is hope those players will maintain their physical condition, will stay fit and of course I'm still hoping we will add players to the squad because we are unbelievably thin on the ground.

"We are using people like Sam Woods and Luke Dreher, who have no real first team experience at all, because we don't have the senior players to compete with the four midfield players that played today."
