Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson was delighted with his goalscorers for victory over Brighton this week.

He believes that both Jean-Philippe Mateta and Christian Benteke will benefit from their goals.

“I think it will do a lot for [Mateta's] confidence going forwards," Hodgson said ahead of facing Fulham. “That's a word I often mention to the players, and to get confidence you need to do what he did the other night.

“The same applies to Christian Benteke. One expects goalscorers to get confidence from those matters. It's also good when the fans watch the goal and really appreciate the goal, and start taking the players to heart.

“It's still early days for Jean-Philippe, he's still finding his feet to an extent, but you can't have a better start than scoring a goal of that nature."
