LONDON (Reuters) -Michael Olise struck twice as Crystal Palace beat Brentford 3-1 in the Premier League on Saturday to snap an eight-game run without a win and ease the pressure on manager Roy Hodgson.

The winger scored either side of halftime, cancelling out Keane Lewis-Potter's early opener with a fine volley before doubling the hosts' lead with another good finish.
