Match action: Pages 46-47
ROY HODGSON has been handed the job of rescuing Crystal Palace after persuading them he has not been scarred by his England flop.
Hodgson signed a two-year deal with the Eagles understood to be worth £50,000 a week, with a £1m bonus for keeping them in the Premier League. He succeeds Dutchman Frank de Boer, who was sacked yesterday after just 77 days in charge at Selhurst Park. Palace became the first top-flight club in 93 years to lose their first four games Turn to Page 45 P W D L F APts Swansea ......4 1 1 2 2 5 4 Everton ........4 1 1 2 2 6 4 Leicester ......4 1 0 3 6 8 3 West Ham.....4 1 0 3 4 10 3 Bournemouth .4 0 0 4 1 8 0 C Palace.......4 0 0 4 0 7 0
