Wilfried Zaha blasts Crystal Palace's defensive approach that cost them win against Brentford after Yoane Wissa's late equaliser... and admits it has been easy to ignore transfer links to Arsenal and Chelsea

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has slammed the team's defensive approach after the draw against Brentford.

The Ivorian gave the Eagles the lead at Selhurst Park through a stunning strike from the edge of the box against the Bees in the 59th minute, but his side could not hold onto the three points as Yoane Wissa netted an 88th minute equaliser to split the share of the spoils.

In his post-match interview, Zaha did not hold back as he did not understand why the team decided to defend the lead instead of pushing on and trying to score a second goal to wrap up the game.
