Roy Hodgson can leave Crystal Palace with his "head held high", says former Premier League striker Chris Sutton.

Hodgson has managed 17 clubs and four national teams in a 48-year career and has overseen 416 Premier League games.
"He's had an incredible managerial career," Sutton, who was managed by Hodgson at Blackburn, told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.
