Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is delighted with his attacking options after victory over Fulham.

Michy Batshuayi made his debut while Christian Benteke was also back after injury.

Hodgson said: "Christian has done well to get back to where he is. He has worked very hard.

"It was a serious injury that required surgery, but I'm sure he's saying 'Right, I'm here, I've got the shirt, I'm going to keep hold of it. Other people have got to wrest it from me'.

"Suddenly there are a few alternatives. So I take off Benteke and change the system, which I can now do, and then take off Ayew and put on Batshuayi and he virtually wins the (Fulham) game for us. All of sudden I'm looking at a bench, 'Hold on, this might be the answer' which last year we didn't really have."
