Schlupp explains Hodgson's half-time instructions

Match-winning substitute Jeffrey Schlupp reflected on an incredible night in SE25 with Palace TV this evening, explaining Roy Hodgson's half-time approach to the match with AFC Bournemouth.

Having been forced to play with 10 men for 70 minutes after Mamadou Sakho's sending off, the Eagles ought to have been pinned back for large swathes of the game, but, as Schlupp reveals, the Palace manager was insistent that they would aim for more than clinching a point.

Schlupp said: "I came on at left-back and we had 10 men which made it extra hard. We got in at half-time, spoke to the gaffer, he just kept us calm and said the game is definitely there to be won.
