Jordan Ayew once again proved to be the main target man for Crystal palace after helping them secure a vital win. Ayew scored in the 28th minutes in their game against Watford helping them climb to 10th. Palace is now four points behind the 5th placed team Wolves.
In his post-match interview, Hodson noted that:
“I’m delighted. We showed incredible character to dig in and defend valiantly. We have every faith that this team won’t get dragged in [to a relegation fight] and will maybe even start looking to push further up the table and get in behind one or two teams above us. I would be very surprised if that was to happen but I don’t rule anything out because in football you’re foolish to rule anything out.”
