Zaha Reacts to Wan-Bissaka’s Last-Ditch Tackle That Denied Crystal Palace Chance to Sink Man United

• Aaron Wan-Bissaka was in fine form for Manchester United during their trip to Crystal Palace
• The defender's contribution helped United avoid a defeat in the closing stages of the Wednesday clash
• The two teams eventually settled for a 1-1 draw, with Bruno Fernandes scoring for the Red Devils

Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has singled out Aaron Wan-Bissaka for praise after the Man United defender's impressive performance on Wednesday night.

Wan-Biassaka appeared to have lost his place in United's starting X1, with Erik ten Hag preferring Diogo Dalot in the right-back position.

However, the Englishman has since regained the spot and has formed an important part of Ten Hag's team in recent weeks.

The former Palace ace was in the form of his life during the Red Devils' trip to Selhurst Park and did a good job to keep Zaha at bay.

According to Metro UK, the tie ended in a 1-1 draw, with Michael Olise cancelling out Bruno Fernandes' opener.

Zaha had a chance to win it for the Eagles in the closing stages of the match after he was put through on goal but a superb recovery tackle from Wan-Bissaka stopped the winger from hitting the target.

Reacting to Wan-Bissaka's tackle, the Ivorian winger said:

"It had to be him (Wan-Bissaka). I could have won it at the end," Zaha told Sky Sports.

"As I ran through, I had a little look back and I saw it was Aaron [Wan-Bissaka] and I knew. He is the only player who can do those scoop tackles from behind," he added.
