Crystal Palace manager Hodgson frustrated with Zaha output: Create havoc!

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has challenged Wilfried Zaha to do more following Sunday's 1-1 draw with Brighton.

Zaha managed to score from the penalty spot but was largely ineffective against a dominant Brighton side.

Speaking after the game, Hodgson said: "I always think that with a player of his ability, he has got more to offer. We have so much faith in his ability and always feel, with a bit of luck, there's more there to give.

"What I will be preaching to him for the rest of the season is that a player of your ability has got more to give and it is not sufficient to just score a few more goals than last season.

"I want to see him create havoc in the opponents' defence and he didn't really do that today."
