Premier League newcomers Sheffield United ran out deserved winners with a 1-0 triumph at home to a lacklustre Crystal Palace side.
Manager Roy Hodgson could not hide his disappointment afterwards, describing his team’s performance as “not good enough” and “inadmissible”.
Hodgson got slightly tetchy when he was asked about the timing of United’s goal – just two minutes into the second half – which gave the hosts a solid foundation to win it.
Yes Roy. Only pay half their wages if the second half performance was “inadmissible”
