(Reuters) - Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson on Friday praised his side's defensive solidity at the start of the Premier League campaign but said he was worried about the lack of goals at the other end of the pitch.

Palace have kept two clean sheets and have the best defensive record in the league so far, conceding twice in four games to help the London club move up to fourth in the standings. However, Hodgson's side have scored only three goals.
