Five-star Palace! Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke bag a brace each to put 10-man West Brom to the sword at the Hawthorns

Wilfried Zaha marked his comeback with a second-half double as Crystal Palace scored five times away from home in the Premier League for the first time to demolish 10-man West Brom.

Palace’s talisman had missed their previous two games as he was isolating following a positive Covid-19 test and yet again he made a decisive impact, scoring twice in a 13-minute second-half spell and showing his displeasure when he was substituted with nine minutes left, costing him the chance of a hat-trick.

By contrast, West Brom’s main creative force, Matheus Pereira, was sent off in the first half after a VAR review for a kick at Patrick van Aanholt.
