Jeffrey Schlupp, who is a Ghana International, has set an infamous record with his club, Crystal Palace as they became the first club in top-flight history to lose their opening five games without scoring as Roy Hodgson’s first match as manager ended in defeat by Southampton. The Eagles paid for slack defending in just the sixth minute when a Dusan Tadic cross-shot was parried to the feet of Steven Davis, who side-footed home from 10 yards.

Palace’s direct approach was contained for the most part, though Saints keeper Fraser Forster did have to make point-blank saves to deny Christian Benteke and Jason Puncheon either side of half-time. His resistance meant the hosts set a new top-flight record as they surpassed the 438 minutes Newcastle United went without a goal at the start of the 2005-06 season.
