Zaha scores stunning goal to earn point for Crystal Palace against Norwich
Ivory Coast forward, Wilfred Zaha, made a goalscoring return to his clubside as he scored a stunning goal to help Crystal Palace win a point away at Carrow Road on Wednesday night.
The former Manchester United player has been absent for the club’s last four Premier league games due to his participation in the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
Palace found themselves behind in the first minute of the game after Teemu Pukki put the ball in the back of the net for Norwich City.
In the second half, Zaha picked up a pass from Micheal Olise and sent a beautiful curler into the top corner to announce his return to the Eagles side and ultimately earn a point for Patrick Vieira.
Zaha would later miss a golden chance to seal all three points when he hit a penalty kick wildly off target.
However, his goal now means he has scored six times in the premier league this year, while the assist from Olise was his fourth in 2022, making him the premier league player with the most goal contributions so far in the premier league since the turn of the new year.
Crystal Palace are now 13th on the log with 25 points from 23 matches and will host Brentford in their next game at Selhurst Park.
