Luton 2-1 Crystal Palace: What Hodgson said

  • Published

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson speaking to PLP: "I congratulate them. I thought they worked very hard for their victory. We can feel a bit unlucky as we had some good moments and their goalkeeper had an outstanding day.

"We thought we could have got that equaliser on at least three or four occasions. We have to accept today we weren't good enough to get the points we thought we could get out of this game."

On injuries to Eberechi Eze and Cheick Doucoure: "They are two of our more important players so of course it's devastating news in a way. Cheick Doucoure's injury is very serious, we don't know how serious Eberechi Eze's is."

On disallowed goal: "No complaints. From the sidelines I was rather hoping it wasn't going to be disallowed but I've seen the replays and Odsonne Edouard accepted it was handball."

On Michael Olise's goal: "Absolutely. We were really pleased for him. He's one of the players in the team we feel can be pleased with their day's work. There's not many who could say that. Unfortunately we threw that away after the equaliser for the winning goal."
