Hodgson secures first victory as Crystal Palace manager

New manager of Crystal Palace, Roy Hodgson has secured his first victory in charge of the Premier League side as they beat Huddersfield 1-0 in the Carabao Cup.

The last time the Eagles won a match was in the previous round of the Carabao Cup against Ipswich.

They were able to conquer Huddersfield on Tuesday night.

Palace had set a losing streak record without scoring – a development that resulted to the sacking of former boss Frank de Boer.
