Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was full of praise for Michael Olise after victory over Brentford.

Olise struck twice in the 3-1 win.

Hodgson said: "We missed him for six months, but he came back… and since then he's just gone from strength to strength.

“What he's done has just been Michael Olise – an outstanding player. His individual performance was a crucial one, I think, in helping us to get the victory."

On the win, the manager added: “We, the coaching staff, never lost belief in the team, and [belief] that this team is a good team, and will do well, and are certainly not relegation candidates."
