ROY HODGSON left fans in stitches with his reaction to Crystal Palace’s late equaliser against Manchester City on Saturday.
After going 2-0 down at the Etihad Stadium, the Eagles completed a late comeback to draw 2-2 with Pep Guardiola’s side.
Jean-Philippe Mateta fired his side back into the game in the 76th minute before Michael Olise converted a penalty with just seconds left to play.
Guardiola was furious after his side conceded the spot-kick and immediately appealed to the fourth official.
But while the Spaniard held his head in his hands, Hodgson turned around to laugh directly at him.
Fans took to social media to react to the clip, which has since gone viral, with one person writing: “This is the video I never knew I needed!!!!”

While a fourth commented: “Roy Hodgson is a national treasure.”
Jack Grealish broke the deadlock in the 24th minute of the match before Rico Lewis scored his first Premier League goal to put City 2-0 up in the second half.

The treble winners were then left stunned after Crystal Palace completed a late comeback.
Speaking after the match, City boss Guardiola said: “It’s not bad luck, it’s deserved. We give away two points.
“When you give away this penalty, you deserve it. We are not able to close the games. That is the feeling.
“It’s like the penalty against Chelsea. We don’t deserve it. We were excellent, like against Liverpool and Spurs, but we were not able to win the games so we are not consistent enough to close the games for many reasons.”
