Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi was left delighted to end the season with a 5-0 win against Aston Villa.

In the aftermath, Guehi was eager to highlight the work of former manager Roy Hodgson, who was replaced by Oliver Glasner earlier this year.

Guhi told Premier League Productions: It's been a tough season. It's easy to look at the back end of the season, but it's been a tough season from a fairly decent start, just a tough middle. We're grateful to everyone that's played their part this season.

We're grateful to Roy [Hodgson] as well, I have to mention him. What he's done for the club, not only in the past, but recently in memory. They [Hodgson and his staff] were just fantastic with us and allowed us to be in a position where the manager [Oliver Glasner] can come in and almost do the rest.

[As for the supporters] they've stuck behind us right from the get-go, even when it was tough, even when we weren't winning at home. They've come, they've supported us.

They're one of the best fan bases in the Premier League, for sure. They've come no matter the weather, no matter how difficult games are. We're all grateful to them.

I'm glad we could give them this send-off for the rest of the season."
