Crystal Palace are fighting to secure their Premier League status and got off to a dream start against Leicester City on Saturday with talisman Wilfried Zaha involved in both goals.

It's a big weekend in the Premier League with lots of teams battling it out to avoid relegation. Palace are one of them as they welcomed Claude Puel's side to Selhurst Park in the 3pm (GMT) kick-off.

However, Roy Hodgson was delighted with his team at the half-time interval as they went into the break with a two-goal lead and had Zaha to thank for both.

The winger opened the scoring in the 17th minute, powering a low shot past opposing goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and into the bottom right corner.

Zaha would then turn provider for Palace's second, setting up James McArthur in the box for the midfielder to fire back across goal and into the opposite bottom corner.
