Roy Hodgson was delighted with Crystal Palace’s performance as they secured a third consecutive Premier League victory with a 2-0 win away at Southampton. The Eagles boss was pleased with the way his side had adapted to the difficult conditions, and felt they were much more comfortable in the game than they had been in recent weeks.
The victory was secured thanks to goals from Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke, both of whom have been in fine form for Palace this season. Hodgson was pleased with their contribution, saying: “It was a great team performance and I’m delighted with the way Wilfried and Christian have been playing. They’ve been very important for us this season.”
The win sees Palace move up to 10th in the table, and Hodgson believes his side are now in a much better position than they were a few weeks ago. He said: “We’re a lot more comfortable now, and it’s great to see us picking up points. We’ve been working hard to get back to where we want to be, and this win is a big step in the right direction.”
The result also means that Palace have now kept three consecutive clean sheets in the league, something which Hodgson was particularly pleased with. He said: “It’s great to see us keeping clean sheets. We’ve been working hard on our defensive shape, and it’s paying off.”
The win was a welcome boost for Palace, who are now looking forward to their next game against Manchester City on Saturday 15 April. Hodgson is confident his side can continue their good form against the reigning champions, saying: “We’re going into the game with confidence, and we’re looking forward to the challenge.”
