Crystal Palace boss Hodgson, Schlupp hail 'absolutely excellent' Wan-Bissaka

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with Aaron Wan-Bissaka's performance for victory at Fulham.

The fullback was again impressive building on his heroics from last season.

Hodgson stated: “I thought he was absolutely excellent, both defensively and offensively. You only hope he'll go from strength to strength – it is only his eighth game in the Premier League.

“He played on the opening game of the season, in a fantastic atmosphere against a team who has just come up and against Sessegnon who has had a wonderful season and is a bit of a flyer, so to do what he did today he will sleep well. If you're going to give him a few pats on the back, I am more than happy to add my voice to the praise."

Palace winger Jeffrey Schlupp also stated: “What a player he is, he seems to be growing in confidence every game and is getting better and better. He did a great bit of play to slide in Wilf with a perfect ball and obviously the move was finished off which was very important for us."
