Hodgson frustrated by Crystal Palace's Jekyll and Hyde show

Roy Hodgson thought Crystal Palace's second-half performance deserved maximum points as they drew 1-1 against Newcastle on Sunday.

The Eagles manager thought that after a poor first half at Selhurst Park, their second-half show warranted more than the solitary point they rescued through Luka Milivojevic's penalty.

Palace went behind to Newcastle midway through the first half when Mohamed Diame finished at the back post in an awful first half for the hosts.

Palace were left extremely frustrated at half-time having wasted a number of opportunities to get forward and equalise.

Something obviously needed to change at the break, and with no substitutions made by the manager, it seemed Hodgson trusted his players on the pitch to put a poor first 45 minutes right.

Whatever manager Hodgson said in his half-time team talk evidently worked, as Palace came out looking like a different side - and the Eagles got their reward when Christian Benteke was fouled in the penalty area by Ciaran Clark.

Milivojevic converted the spot-kick, and with more than half-an-hour left of the game, Hodgson's side had the momentum to go ahead and win the game.

It was clear at full-time that the away side were happier with the point, with the Magpies possibly counting themselves a little fortunate not to concede a second penalty.

And the Palace manager, who would have undoubtedly taken a point at half-time, was disappointed having not taken all three.

"The way we were playing in the first half I would certainly have taken (a point)," Hodgson told reporters.

"After watching the second half and watching us dominate the game as we did, I feel we were unlucky not to have got all three points in the end because our second half performance merited that.

"It's a point that doesn't help either of us enormously but we've just got to make sure that when we can't win, we draw."
