Roy Hodgson praises 'typical Crystal Palace performance' after the Eagles come from behind to beat Aston Villa at Selhurst Park

Roy Hodgson was delighted to witness a 'typical Crystal Palace performance' after they fought back to beat Aston Villa 3-2 with Tyrick Mitchell the unlikely hero at Selhurst Park.

First-half goals from John McGinn and Anwar El Ghazi put the visitors on course for victory despite Christian Benteke briefly restoring parity, but the Eagles produced an excellent response after the break.

Wilfried Zaha's deflected effort with 14 minutes left levelled proceedings before Mitchell bundled home his first ever goal in the 84th minute.
