Crystal Palace’s James McArthur showers encomium on ‘unplayable’ Zaha

Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur has hailed ‘unplayable’ Wilfried Zaha after the winger starred in the Eagles’ 5-0 defeat of Leicester City on Saturday.

Zaha, assisted by McArthur, opened the floodgate in the 17th minute - his eighth of the season - with a nicely-placed finish.

The former Manchester United man then return the favour as the Scot doubled their lead before the interval.

12 minutes after the restart, the Foxes were reduced to 10 men after Marc Albrighton fouled the Cote d’Ivoire international who outpaced him to get through on goal.

"Yohan played a nice ball in and I heard Wilfried shout and I got it to him and it’s a great finish.
