Hogdson believed Crystal Palace could beat Bournemouth with 10 men - Schlupp

Crystal Palace midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp reveals manager Roy Hodgson pushed them for three points in Tuesday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth amid challenging circumstances.

Palace were a man down after Mamadou Sakho was sent off in just the 19th minute. Then they had to make two forced substitutions by the 46th minute due to injuries to Patrick van Aanholt and Andros Townsend. The Ghana international - a first-half substitute, scored on 76 minutes to ensure a 1-0 win for The Eagles at Selhurst Park.

It was the Black Star's second straight goal in two consecutive games and back-to-back substitute appearances for Palace after a similar showing against Burnley on Saturday.
