Roy Hodgson admits Crystal Palace 'were deservedly beaten' by Leeds after below-par showing at Elland Road - with beleaguered boss left to rue 'unfortunate' errors that saw his team fail to move into the top half

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has admitted his team were 'deservedly beaten' by Leeds after their 2-0 loss at Elland Road.

Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford both struck to down the Eagles, with the latter scoring his 100th career goal, in a victory that propelled Leeds into the top half of the Premier League table.

And after the below-par showing from Palace, Hodgson was left ruing errors and a stark failure to carve out clear-cut chances post-match.
