Zaha's brace pleases Hodgson
Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson said after the 4-1 win at Leicester he was pleased that Wilfried Zaha had managed to add some goals to his game.
The 26-year-old scored three goals in his first four Premier League appearances of the campaign but then went on a four-month drought in front of goal.
However, Zaha netted in the recent 1-1 draws against Southampton and West Ham United before grabbing a brace against the Foxes at the King Power Stadium.
Veteran manager Hodgson said of Zaha: "It [scoring] has been something he's been talking about and promising that he'll do and thinks he needs to do. He thinks that he should be scoring more goals but that's the first time he's scored in three consecutive games. I thought he took both goals well.
"The first one needed a solid side-foot. [Kasper] Schmeichel was ready on the line but it was close and a solid strike would score and he got it. The other one which put the game totally to bed was a really good strike at goal. It was the sheer power which beat Schmeichel on that occasion."
The Eagles can be backed at 14/5 to beat Manchester United in their next match on Wednesday while they are available at 9/2 to win by a one-goal margin.
