Crystal Palace must start winning games without ‘influential’ Zaha – Hodgson

The Eagles boss has expressed his displeasure with his side’s recent unimpressive results and wants them to improve

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has urged his side to start winning games without "influential" forward Wilfried Zaha.

The Ivory Coast international has been playing a key role in ensuring the Eagles maintain their Premier League status.

Palace have struggled to win games without the winger, having now lost 18 of their last 20 English top-flight matches when he did not play, failing to score in 16 of those 18 games they lost.

Zaha is currently on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury and the Eagles have not won since the forward last featured for them against Newcastle United, losing against Leeds United and Burnley.
