Zaha reveals pre-game captain's message and penalty conversation with Ayew

Wilfried Zaha will quite rightly steal headlines after his faultless performance against Manchester United.

Speaking with Premier League Productions post-match, Zaha was typically grounded, but also enthused by his side's dominant performance.

First Team
