Joachim Andersen in angry altercation with Crystal Palace fans after Brighton horror show

Joachim Andersen was involved in an angry altercation with a Crystal Palace fan as pressure mounts on Roy Hodgson's side following their 4-1 defeat to Brighton.

Tension has been building around Hodgson's position and the clash against rivals Brighton is seen as a major competition to get the season back on track.

The fans clearly had a few words with them before the stewards and Palace manager Paddy McCarthy led the centre-back away.

Speaking about the incident on talkSPORT after the match, Hodgson said: “Unfortunately I didn't see it.

“It's bad enough losing the game 4-1 and dealing with that; There is no need to compound misery by confronting people who are obviously disappointed.

“They came here with high hopes and hoping to win and not only did they not make the season. crystal Palace win, they saw Crystal Palace well defeated.

“These frustrations are understandable and I fear that if you reach out and engage with fans, they are likely to make their feelings known.”
