HODGSON HAILS TRUMP CARDS KANE AND ALLI

ROY HODGSON has scoffed at talk that his knowledge of England stars Harry Kane and Dele Alli gives Crystal Palace an edge against Tottenham tomorrow. As England manager, Hodgson gave both their international debuts and was at Wembley on Wednesday to see them inspire Spurs’ 3-1 win over Real Madrid. Asked if knowing Kane so well helped his cause, Hodgson said: ‘Not one bit. In the Euros, we thought he and Alli might be our trump cards. They are superb footballers.’
