Hodgson on importance of today's result and discusses Mitchell

Roy Hodgson was full of praise for the performance his side put in against Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon, with the Eagles manager suggesting that if there was to be a victor today, it was more than likely going to be the south Londoners:

“I thought it was a very positive performance against a real top quality side. If any team was to win in it, it could’ve been us; we shaded it in that respect.

“The important thing was to break this very unfortunate run of results that we’ve had, where I don’t think fate has been very kind to us.
