Mitchell on the three words Hodgson said to him
When Roy Hodgson subbed on Tyrick Mitchell for Patrick van Aanholt in today's game against Leicester City, the left-back became the 36th Academy graduate to represent the first-team since 2004.
No matter what the result today, nothing can take away from the left-back's proud moment.
Speaking to Palace TV post-match, Mitchell tried to put what had just happened into words: "It is a great feeling," he began. "It is something that everyone dreams to do - when growing up as a young footballer that’s the main aim.
"It wasn’t the ideal match to come into because of the score line but on a personal note it was a great achievement for me."
