Speaking in his post-match press conference this afternoon following Crystal Palace's loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Eagles boss Roy Hodgson said he could take one positive from the trip to north London: Mamadou Sakho playing for 90 minutes.
The Palace manager praised Spurs, particularly for their first-half performance, and then went on to focus on his own side, picking out Sakho's return as a source of positive news.
He said: "The only real positive I can take from the game is that Mamadou Sakho, after such a long lay-off, such a long time out through injury, got through 90 minutes in a very, very tough game.
