Hodgson on how Eze and Zaha share ‘good rapport’ at Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson thinks Eberechi Eze and Wilfried Zaha have a good rapport because of their similar skills, abilities and strengths.

Eze has settled in well at Selhurst Park since he completed a permanent switch from Queens Park Rangers in August and he has formed a solid partnership with Ivory Coast star Zaha, thanks to their playmaking skills.

On Saturday, the Nigerian descent came off the bench in the first half to score a wondergoal that sealed Crystal Palace’s 2-0 win over Sheffield United, a strike he has described as his best in South London.
