Crystal Palace boss Hodgson pleased with 2-goal Zaha

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says Wilfried Zaha has been determined to improve his goalscoring.

Zaha struck twice in Saturday's 4-1 win over Leicester City.

Hodgson said, "It [scoring] has been something he's been talking about and promising that he'll do and thinks he needs to do. He thinks that he should be scoring more goals but that's the first time he's scored in three consecutive games. I thought he took both goals well.

"The first one needed a solid side foot. Schmeichel was ready on the line but it was close and a solid strike would score and he got it. The other one which put the game totally to bed was a really good strike at goal. It was the sheer power which beat Kasper Schmeichel on that occasion."
