Hodgson: Second-half mistakes cost us

Roy Hodgson says second-half mistakes cost Crystal Palace as they fell to a 4-0 defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

“In the first-half we did well,” he told Sky Sports in his post-match interview. “Obviously they had a lot of the ball which we knew they would have but I don’t think they created that many chances, and I think on the whole we did very well.

“I’m afraid we made a couple of quite blatant mistakes in the second-half, often playing the ball back too often to the goalkeeper and it cost us.
