The superb goal was just reward for a battling performance across the pitch from Palace, with Hughes hailing both the individual and collective efforts of his side.
The midfielder told Sky Sports: “I think it was [a moment of magic].
“We’ve been going through a difficult period of late, and sometimes you need a bit of magic like from those sorts of players. We’ve got plenty of it in the team – Olise, Wilf [Zaha], Ebs [Eze] – we’ve got individual talent, so I think it was a good point in the end.
“In the end it’s [about] fine margins, but we know we’ve got the talent in the squad – it’s just about doing the basics [right] and winning your duels, and I think we got that tonight. Sometimes you get the rub of the green, and you take it.”
