Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew hailed his wingers after their 3-1 win over QPR.

Yannick Bolasie created two goals, while Wilfred Zaha scored, thumping into the goal post in the process.

Pardew told BT Sport: "I'm sure (former Palace manager and Manchester United winger) Stevie Coppell would have been proud today because down here we're famous for our wingers.

"It was like a throwback today to an old Palace team and it was a great victory for us. When you have got players with the quality they have got - that I can't coach. But what I can do is get them in the right place at the right time, where they should be and what they should do for the team and that's all I'm trying to educate them on, and to score more goals."

Asked about Palace's position after this game, he said: "We are nearly safe. We need to just keep our heads, get ourselves another victory quickly and then we're nearly done."
