Crystal Palace maintained their 100% winning record under Roy Hodgson after Eberechi Eze scored twice in a 2-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday to deal a damaging blow to the south-coast club's Premier League survival hopes.
In a game between the youngest and oldest managers in the English top flight, it was 75-year-old Roy Hodgson who triumphed over 39-year-old Ruben Selles as the London side won three games in a row for the first time this season.
"I think he has just given us the confidence in what we're good at. We know what we can do, we know what we're capable of and he's given us the licence to go and do that," Eze said. Southampton were dominant in the first half and Theo Walcott had the home side's best chance to take the lead when he was through on goal on the right after a well-crafted move but the 34-year-old sliced his shot wide.
But Palace broke the deadlock nine minutes into the second half when Jordan Ayew's cross was parried by goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu straight into the path of Eze, whose eyes lit up for an easy tap-in.
