Wilfried Zaha with passionate criticism of his team after 1-1 draw vs Brentford

• Wilfried Zaha was far from happy with his team’s draw against Brentford on Tuesday, August 30
• The Ivory Coast forward opened the scoring with a brilliant strike for his fourth goal of the season
• But Palace could not hold on for the win as Brentford found an equaliser through Yoane Wissa

Crystal Palace superstar Wilfried Zaha came out with a passionate criticism of his own team after the draw against Brentford.

Zaha did not appreciate the tactics his side resorted to in the game as they let a one goal slip in the 88th minute.

The Ivory Coast winger was back in the starting XI after missing the 4-2 defeat against Manchester City on Saturday.

And he made an instant impact for his side, coming up with the opener in the 59th minute in brilliant fashion.

He did brilliantly to cut inside from the left and his curled effort somehow found the top corner, leaving David Raya no chance.

It looked like the solitary goal would give Patrick Vieira’s side all three points, but Palace were made to pay for inviting pressure as Brentford found an equaliser in the 88th minute through Yoane Wissa.

After the game, Zaha voiced his displeasure with his side for letting another lead slip.

“I’m lost for words man. Just one lapse of concentration. It ruins all the hard work. We literally just had to keep it tight,” he told BT Sport.

“As soon as we went in the lead, we just started to defend. I don’t see why we do that?

“If we just continue pressing on we could have got a second and that ends the game. We killed ourselves in the end.”

Zaha’s passion did not go unnoticed as fans lauded his mentality on social media.
