Roy Hodgson says Anfield was a fitting location for his final match as Crystal Palace manager, as he oversaw the final game of his four-year tenure in charge of the club.
“We showed that we are a very honest team, and a hard-working team that respects the integrity of the league,” he said in his post-match press conference. “Now I’ve got to come to terms with the fact that my last game has been played.
“I’m pleased it was at Anfield, because it’s one of the temples of football. You are in the Premier League to play at places like Old Trafford and Anfield, and I think when I look back at it with a little bit of distance, I will be happy it was played here even though we didn’t get the result we wanted today.
