Wilfried Zaha has scored six goals against Brighton, more than against any other side Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson said Wilfried Zaha has improved the mental side of his game after the forward rescued a point against rivals Brighton & Hove Albion.
Zaha smashed in an equaliser from the edge of the box for injury-hit Palace, who toiled for 70 minutes and trailed to Neal Maupay’s fine finish into the top corner shortly after half time.
Ivory Coast winger Zaha – the second-most fouled player in the Premier League this season, behind Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish – was impeded five times at Selhurst Park.
But he kept his composure to score his sixth goal against the Seagulls, who paid for failing to take their chances when on top.
“Wilf is doing extremely well mentally because things happen in the game – taunts from the crowd and little fouls off the ball – which he isn’t allowing to upset him as he might have done before,” said Hodgson, who was marking his 100th match as Palace manager.
Palace’s recovery extended their unbeaten run to four games, as the point moved them above Arsenal into ninth place; Brighton are 13th. (ESPN)
