Hodgson bewildered as toothless Crystal Palace fall to Sheffield Utd

Roy Hodgson is at a loss to fix Crystal Palace's troubles in front of goal after Sunday's 1-0 loss to Sheffield United.

John Lundstram's second-half goal saw the Blades clinch their first Premier League victory since 2007.

The Eagles have gone goalless in their opening two Premier League games and Hodgson admits the problem doesn't have an easy solution.

Hodgson said: "Do the same as you always do, working at your game, keep making sure the movements are right, that you are giving people chance to practise their movements.

"There is no magic wand. We have played 180 minutes and haven't scored a goal, conceding one. I believe there are players in the team who are capable of scoring goals. As a coach all you can do is show your faith in the player but it is always the player's job to get out on the field and perform."
