Crystal Palace 2-1 Leicester City: Delight for Roy Hodgson as Jean-Philippe Mateta scores with the LAST kick of the match to deliver a winning start to life back at Selhurst Park for the 75-year-old boss

Put your feet up Mrs Hodgson, your husband could be here a while.

Premier League OAP Roy Hodgson joked that his other half was glad to see the back of him as he came out of retirement to return to the Selhurst Park hottest.

And it looked like the right call by Crystal Palace to reappoint their 75-year-old former manager as they came from behind to earn their first win since New Year’s Eve.

The Eagles also put in one of their best performances in months, especially in the first half, and then showed plenty of character to fight back after half-time substitute Ricardo Pereira’s shock opener.
