Zaha assist not enough as Crystal Palace lose to Everton

Wilfried Zaha produced his fifth Premier League assist of the season as Crystal lost 3-1 away to Everton on Saturday.

The Eagles have been without a win since Boxing Day and a match against an improved Toffees side, who have collected the second-most points in the top-flight since Carlo Ancelotti took charge, was always going to be difficult.

That turned out to be the case with Bernard giving the hosts an 18th-minute lead.

Palace went on to equalise six minutes after the break, when Zaha’s fine pass found Christian Benteke who buried a low shot which Everton goalie Jordan Pickford failed to handle.
