Crystal Palace attacker Zaha: Only Wan-Bissaka could've denied me matchwinner

Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha admits he could've won the game at the end of their 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

Zaha had a late chance, only to be denied by former Palace teammate Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

He later said, "We have that talent in the team and the gaffer [Patrick Vieira] keeps telling us to contest the games and the talent will shine through.

"That's what the team needs, never say die attitude. We got a point and that was just what we deserved.

On Wan-Bissaka's challeng, he added: "It had to be him! I could have won it at the end. As I ran through, I had a little look back and I saw it was Aaron [Wan-Bissaka] and I knew. He is the only player who can do those scoop tackles from behind."

"The fans deserve it, I'm buzzing with the lads. It gives us confidence going into the next games."
