'The very best' - Hodgson hails Zaha's impact in Leicester City demolition

Following Wilfried Zaha's inspiring performance in Crystal Palace’s 5-0 thrashing of Leicester City in Saturday’s English Premier League contest, manager Roy Hodgson has lauded the forward.

The 25-year-old got the curtain raiser and assisted with the second goal to propel the Eagles to victory against the Foxes.

The win pushed them five places up to the 11th spot in the log as they now have 38 points from 36 encounters.

Impressed by the feat, the former English tactician heaped praises on the forward.

“Wilf today, that was maybe one of the very best during my time at the club,” Hodgson said after the match.
