Steven Schumacher: Roy Hodgson hails 'magnificent job' done by Plymouth Argyle boss

Roy Hodgson has praised the job Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher is doing after Crystal Palace's 4-2 win in the Carabao Cup at the Pilgrims.

Argyle led 2-0 early in the second period before Palace scored three times in five minutes to set up victory.

The hosts, who won League One last season, made nine changes and dominated the first 55 minutes of the game.

"I'd like to say we were surprised by how good Plymouth were, but we weren't," Hodgson told BBC Sport.

"We knew they were very good and made it clear to the players that this is a good team you're playing.
