Crystal Palace boss Hodgson delighted with goalscorers Zaha, Batshuayi

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with his goalscorers for their win over Burnley

Michy Batshuayi and Wilfried Zaha both struck for the 3-1 triumph.

Hodgson said, "Wilf was good, I mean Wilf's always good. He's in good form at the moment. He's a dangerous player to have to mark as a defender when he gets the ball because he's an extremely good dribbler. He's got not only dribbling skills but stregth to add to that. And at the moment he's in good goalscoring form.

"He promised me some time ago that he would score at least five goals before the end of the season and this was about two or three weeks ago. I think he's already got those five so we're going to up that total, we're going to double it: we're going to get 10. He's certainly doing what he needs to do and the same goes for Michy Batshuayi.

"His second goal was an excellent one and it was maybe as many as half a dozen moves towards the end of the game where, had we been able to finish it off, he would have been up there with Goal of the Season contendership."
