Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway hails Kevin Phillips as a "class act" after the 39-year-old scored his side's equaliser against Watford on Friday night.

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has praised Kevin Phillips after the 39-year-old came off the bench to score Palace's equaliser against Watford on Friday night.

The Eagles were 2-0 down before Phillips completed their comeback by converting a cross at the back post with 20 minutes remaining, and the manager was quick to describe the former Blackpool forward as a "class act".

After the game, Holloway told London24: "What a class act, let's be honest.

"I don't know anyone as professional as Kevin and that was a hard chance to put away.

"He's 39 going on 18, and I'm delighted for him."

Palace remain in fifth place in the Championship table after the draw at Vicarage Road.
