Emile Heskey

But as Roy Hodgson said, the Crystal Palace fans were singing Christian Benteke's name.

They were singing, he scores when he wants, which isn't strictly true.

That's the first time in 14 games that he has managed to get himself on the score sheet.

But I mean, personally for him, how frustrated will he be that having scored that goal, he's now not available for the game against Swansea?

And they don't have too many options without him in the side, do they?

Maybe Sacco?

He has used Townsend there alongside Zaha?

You don't want it to break and you want to be able to keep that run going.

And Christian Benteke would want to have kept that run going against a Swansea side who are really struggling, rock bottom of the table.

Palace would maybe think that was an opportunity, but they're doing it without Benteke, who's now scoring again.

Because then after that, it gets really tough for Crystal Palace, doesn't it?

And they are in fantastic form, of course, Crystal Palace.

First time they've gone seven games in a row unbeaten in the Premier League.

So that's those seven games in which Roy Hodgson, they've also, as he mentioned, kept three consecutive clean sheets away in the Premier League, which shows that maybe the organisation, we know that when he came in, Ruben Loftus-Cheek would say he worked on their attacking options, but there we can see the defensive capabilities of the manager, can't we?

Emile, Roy Hodgson was talking about the fact, he was surprised that Christian Benteke got three yellow cards before he arrived.

He said he's going to have to go and look at where they came from, that he's not the kind of player that he'd expect to pick up those yellow cards.

It's also a surprise that this is a Crystal Palace side, that when he arrived, hadn't won and hadn't scored a goal.

Could you look at, and obviously Wilfred Zaha has come back into the mix, but even taking that into account, can you believe that on the performance we've seen today?

A couple of weeks ago, there were a lot of conversations, Clinton, going around about the fact that young British managers weren't being kept out of jobs by young managers from overseas.

They were being kept out by older English managers.
