LONDON (Reuters) - Crystal Palace are like a boxer being beaten by superior fighters, manager Roy Hodgson said after his side were outclassed 4-0 by Manchester United on Saturday to extend their run to seven successive defeats without scoring.

Hodgson took over at Selhurst Park following the sacking of Frank de Boer earlier this month and, after losing 1-0 against Southampton, has seen his side concede nine goals in successive 5-0 and 4-0 defeats against Manchester City and United.
