WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Zaha's late strike returns Palace to winning ways

Wilfried Zaha’s stoppage-time goal earned Crystal Palace a first win in four matches as they came from behind to beat Southampton 2-1 at St Mary’s.

Oriol Romeu put Southampton ahead on nine minutes with a header from James Ward-Prowse’s corner.

Palace’s pressure for an equaliser eventually paid off on the hour when Eberechi Eze scored his first league goal this season, volleying in Nathaniel Clyne’s cross.

Substitute Zaha struck the winner with seconds remaining, finding the bottom corner from the edge of the area.

Palace go above Southampton to 12th with 41 points, one more than their hosts, who are 15th.
