Roy Hodgson was delighted to witness a “typical Crystal Palace performance” after they fought back to beat Aston Villa 3-2 with Tyrick Mitchell the unlikely hero at Selhurst Park. Wilfried Zaha’s deflected effort with 14 minutes left levelled proceedings before Mitchell bundled home his first ever goal in the 84th minute. Great team work, great second half. “Our second-half performance was what I would call a typical Crystal Palace performance. “I thought he was very good,” Hodgson said of the former England goalkeeper who lost form in the Sky Bet Championship.
