Zaha continues impressive run as Crystal Palace return to winning ways

Wilfried Zaha was on target in Crystal Palace's 3-1 win over Burnley in Saturday’s Premier League game.

The 26-year-old continued with his recent impressive form to help Roy Hodgson’s men bounce back to winning ways after Wednesday’s defeat to Manchester United.

Having scored three goals in his previous four games, the Ivorian increased his tally to eight goals this season, sealing the victory for the Eagles at Turf Moor.

Palace started the game impressively after Phil Bardsley turned the ball into his net in the 15th minute of the game.

On-loan Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi doubled the lead in the 48th minute after being fed by Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Zaha then wrapped up the win beating two of his markers after receiving the ball from Cheikhou Kouyate before firing past goalkeeper Tom Heaton.

Ashley Barnes got a late consolatory goal as the Eagles clinched their ninth league win of the season to move to the 13th spot in the log with 33 points from 29 games.

Zaha will look to continue the commanding display when Crystal Palace take on Brighton & Hove Albion on March 9.
