Ebere Eze explains key difference between Vieira and Roy Hodgson

The sacking of Patrick Vieira and the subsequent hire of Roy Hodgson has proven to be inspiring for Crystal Palace, as the Eagles have enjoyed a resurgence in terms of points on the board and improved individual performances under the 75-year-old. 

Eberechi Eze is one of the stars whose fortunes have turned, and his impressive performances continued in Crystal Palace's 2-0 victory over Bournemouth at Selhurst Park.

Eze scored both goals in the win, his sixth in the last eight games, and he explains how Hodgson has impacted his current form. 

The playmaker of Nigerian descent hit double figures in goals in the triumph over the Cherries, and six of them have come in the ten games since the former Liverpool boss was hired. 

After the game, Eze was asked about his improvement under the current boss compared to the previous tenure, and he explained that he had been afforded the freedom to express himself. 

He said he is more free now, and he has more license to take players on, which he has credited for helping him affect games positively. 

Meanwhile, although he is disappointed they failed to grab the maximum possible points, Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi was happy with his team's performance, which he said went according to plan.
