Wilfried Zaha ends goal drought in Crystal Palace stalemate

Wilfried Zaha has ended his 11-game goal drought with his effort in Crystal Palace's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

The Cote d'Ivoire international scored his fifth league goal of the season as the Eagles settled for a share of the spoils at the Vitality Stadium.

The skipper's effort was short-lived as substitute Lys Mousset put Eddie Howe's side levelled three minutes after his introduction in the 62nd minute.

Crystal Palace are three points adrift of the drop zone with 31 points from 33 games. They host Brighton and Hove Albion for their next league fixture. Wilf PS
