'I've had two years of listening to people tell us we don't score enough goals': Tetchy Roy Hodgson denies Crystal Palace are over reliant on Wilfried Zaha after slipping to 1-0 defeat at struggling Burnley

Roy Hodgson dismissed suggestions Crystal Palace are too reliant on Wilfried Zaha as the talismanic forward was forced to miss the 1-0 defeat at Burnley after testing positive for coronavirus.

Burnley claimed their first Premier League victory of the season to move out of the relegation zone thanks to Chris Wood's eighth-minute strike, which was the Clarets' first top-flight goal at Turf Moor this campaign.

Palace had a number of opportunities to level but found Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope in irresistible form as he saved brilliantly from Michy Batshuayi and substitute Christian Benteke in the second half.
