Roy Hodgson admits Wilfried Zaha was 'disappointed' at missing out on a hat-trick after being taken off with 10 minutes to go as he inspired Crystal Palace to thumping win at West Brom

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson hailed Wilfried Zaha's desire after revealing he was disappointed to miss out on a hat-trick in the Eagles' 5-1 thrashing of West Brom.

The forward's brace, after his recovery from coronavirus, helped fire Palace to their biggest ever Premier League away win.

It was also the first time a Hodgson side had scored five times away from home in the league since February 2012, when his West Brom side won 5-1 at Wolves.

Christian Benteke also netted twice after Darnell Furlong's own goal gave Palace the lead on Sunday.
