Crystal Palace 3-1 Watford: Wilfried Zaha stars for the Eagles as both sides score an own goal

Wilfried Zaha showed why new Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira wants to keep him at Selhurst Park, as he netted twice against Watford.

The 28-year old forward is wanted by the former Arsenal man to play a part in his south London revolution.

Palace were impressive in their last pre-season friendly before heading to Stamford Bridge next week, although Zaha managed to completely miss the ball when attempting a volley in the opening minutes.
