Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has revealed Jeffrey Schlupp’s best position is to be on the extreme end of the field as a winger.
The 27-year-old came to the rescue of the hosts in South London with a late strike that canceled out Harry Kane’s first-half opener.
Towards the end of the game, Nigerian descent Eberechi Eze fired in a free-kick but goalkeeper Hugo Lloris failed to put the ball to safety, leaving Schlupp to fire in the loose ball into the back of the net in the 81st minute.

“That enables us to have the two front players.
