Crystal Palace's remarkable revival under Roy Hodgson continues with Leeds rout

Just a couple of weeks ago Crystal Palace fans could not have imagined that they would be at Elland Road, shouting 'Olé' after every pass by their team.

For too long this season they were just grateful to celebrate one goal in a game, but on Sunday they were spoiled by five in a remarkable second-half demolition of Leeds United as their resurgence under Roy Hodgson continued.

It is almost the stuff of fairytales. The 75-year-old - a boyhood Palace fan - came out of retirement to help the side he previously managed between 2017 and 2021, tasked with the job of keeping them in the Premier League.
