Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson pleased no fans were in attendance for defeat by Newcastle as Eagles would have left them 'unbelievably disappointed'

Roy Hodgson admitted it was probably a good thing the Crystal Palace fans were not in attendance for Friday's defeat to Newcastle.

However, Hodgson is looking to give them something to shout about when they do return to Selhurst Park for the visit of Tottenham next month.

Spectators will be able to attend sports events in certain parts of England from December 2 after the Government introduced a regionalised tier system to tackle the spread of coronavirus.
