Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson lauds Wilfried Zaha’s strikes against Leicester City

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has applauded Wilfried Zaha’s goals in their 4-1 win over Leicester City in Saturday’s Premier League game.

After Jonny Evans cancelled out Michy Batshuayi’s opener, the Cote d'Ivoire international restored the lead, placing his effort past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

He completed his brace shortly after Luka Milivojevic converted from the penalty spot, slamming the ball towards the bottom right corner to help the Eagles extend their unbeaten run to six games.
