Zaha opened the scoring in the sixth minute, becoming the first player to reach 50 goals in the Premier League for Palace, before Aymeric Laporte was sent off for bringing him down and Conor Gallagher wrapped up the points late on. There’s been sessions where we don’t understand anything, but once you do it a few times it starts to make sense.Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha heaped praise on manager Patrick Vieira after a shock 2-0 victory over defending Premier League champions Manchester City. The whole team is willing to learn new things and I feel like that’s why it’s changed so quickly because everyone’s willing to change and understand the new techniques and the new things we can be doing to improve our game. “I feel like if you just buy into it, as everyone has, you can see it makes a massive difference. Zaha further reveals the team’s recent run of good results is thanks in part to the tactics implemented by new manager Vieira. Sometimes it’s annoying, but he wants the best from me so I just try to do my best.” "Every day he’s demanding more and more from me. I feel like I perform better under pressure because if it was easy things start to go a bit pear-shaped without the pressure on myself. “I feel the pressure to do more and do better because he expects me to. "It’s different when you’ve actually seen them play because you buy into what they say more because they understand the game, they’ve done it before. It’s a bit surreal because when a legendary player becomes your manager there’s so much you can take from him. “He spoke to me as he likes me as a player so it’s crazy that later on he’s become, my manager. Obviously, he’s a legend - I used to support Arsenal - so meeting him was crazy,” Zaha told the club’s official website. “You know what’s funny, I’ve seen him before at Winter Wonderland! I saw him with his daughters, and we had a conversation.
Zaha has explained the relationship he has with the former France midfielder since his appointment and revealed how he met him before his arrival at Selhurst Park. In fact, they are currently on a seven-game unbeaten run, the longest in the Premier League at the moment.
