Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson hails Wilfried Zaha's new 'selfish' edge after star man's impressive seven-goal start to the season... as he insists club are seeing him get 'better and better'

Roy Hodgson believes Wilfried Zaha's new 'selfish' streak has helped the Crystal Palace forward boost his Selhurst Park goal tally.

Zaha has already fired seven goals in 12 Premier League matches this term, while he could muster just four in the entirety of last season.

And Palace boss Hodgson has hailed the Ivory Coast star for honing in on the most important elements of his craft in order to rise up the scoring charts.

'I think Wilf has come to the conclusion that if he's going to score more goals he needs to be a bit more selfish, he needs to be a bit more focused on just that aspect of the game,' said Hodgson.
