Pardew thanks Palace chairman Parish

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew thanked club chairman Steve Parish for his support after the Eagles won for the first time in eight matches.

Palace beat Southampton 3-0 on Saturday for their first win since a 3-2 victory over Sunderland on 24 September.

Pardew, 55, has been in charge since January 2015, but had faced increased speculation about his job recently.

"I'm pleased for the club and it was important we won today. The discipline was good," said Pardew.

Palace had lost their previous six matches with Pardew, who took the club to last season's FA Cup final at Wembley, describing the run as a "mini-crisis".
