James McArthur has hailed the form of Crystal Palace teammate Wilfried Zaha.

Zaha was on top form to fire Palace to victory over bitter rivals Brighton at the weekend, scoring twice in a much-needed 3-2 win.

"He popped up again for us, and another header against Brighton, so I am pleased for him," McArthur said after the match. "He's been playing really, really well. To get to get two goals was outstanding from him.

"He was the same before the game in the build up, he treats every game the same. His ability just shines through, and I felt for the Brighton defenders because when he's on his game he's one of the best in the league.

"What I would say is I would be scared to play against him every week. In my opinion there's not too many players in the league that you fear playing against.

"He's one of them for other teams. To have him in our team is a big asset."
