Prior to Hodgson's return, Palace hadn't won a single game in 2023 under Patrick Viera, who was recently relieved of his duties.

The win took them to 33 points, six points off 18th-placed Nottingham Forrest, with eight games left to play.

However, Palace grew into the game and Marc Guehi restored parity just before half-time despite claims of a player being offside.

The 22-year-old rushed to celebrate his first Premier League goal since November 21, 2022 and it was here where hawk-eyed fans made a peculiar observation.

Michael Olise appeared to hurl some expletives towards a section of Leeds fans, as reported by Sport Bible.

His outburst appeared to shock Guehi, who momentarily stopped his celebration and gave his teammate a telling look, eliciting responses online.

Olise went on to put on a show in the second half after he became the youngest-ever player in the Premier League to get three assists in a single game.

Palace completed the turnaround with further goals from Jordan Ayew (two), Eberechi Eze, and Odsornne Edouard.

Hodgson will continue with his resurgent journey over the weekend when the club plays bottom-placed Southampton.

With Hodgson returning to the hot seat at Selhurst Park after replacing the embattled Vieira, the Ghanaian international replaced Wilfried Zaha at the stroke of half-time.
