Zaha congratulates Eze on first Crystal Palace goal

Wilfried Zaha has felicitated with Eberechi Eze on his first Crystal Palace goal in Saturday’s 4-1 Premier League demolition of Leeds United.

The Nigeria prospect got a goal and an assist as the Eagles returned to winning ways after bowing 2-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers their last time out.

Scott Dann had given Roy Hodgson’s men a desirable start at Selhurst Park in the 12th minute after firing the ball past goalkeeper Illan Meslier thanks to Eze’s assist.

It was the Anglo-Nigerian’s turn to find the net after his well taken free-kick hoisted over the wall and sailed into the near top left corner – leaving Meslier with no chance.
