Crystal Palace ace Wilfried Zaha impressed on his Ivory Coast debut against Sweden yesterday.

The Daily Mail says Zaha came off the bench to provide the decisive cross on his Ivory Coast debut as they beat Sweden 2-1 in their African Cup of Nations warm-up friendly.

Having been snubbed by Roy Hodgson, current Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce, and then Gareth Southgate, Zaha switched allegiance to the country of his birth - Ivory Coast - and was called up to their squad for the upcoming African Cup of Nations.

The former England international has taken to his new international environment like a duck to water. Introduced at the break, Zaha provided the perfect cross for Giovanni Sio to head home a 50th minute winner for the Elephants.
