Ivory Coast Star Zaha Draws Comparisons With Arsenal Legend Henry After Fine Finish Against Liverpool

• Ivory Coast and Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has opened his goal scoring account for the season
• The former Manchester United winger scored a Henry-type goal as Crystal Palace held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield
• The Crystal Palace talisman has been on the radar of several clubs including AS Roma in the summer transfer window

Wilfried Zaha has been receiving praises following his strike for Crystal Palace in their draw against Liverpool on Monday night.

The Ivory Coast star broke the deadlock after calmly slotting home in a Henry-style to give Crystal Palace the lead at Anfield.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville described the finish as top class, comparing him to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

"That is Henry! That is a top class finish," said Gary Neville to Sky Sports.

Luis Diaz netted in the second half to level the scores as Liverpool share the spoils with the Eagles.

Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez was sent off for a headbutt as the host played most of the game with ten men.

It is the Ivorian's first goal of the season and Crystal Palace's first point of the campaign.
