Ex-Arsenal hero Emmanuel Petit slammed Wilfried Zaha for a lack of effort during Crystal Palace's 4-1 loss against his former side.
Like a number of his team-mates in the crushing defeat, Zaha put in a below par performance just two days after the sacking of manager Patrick Vieira, Petit's old team-mate. Palace axed Vieira following a run of 12 games without a win and Zaha, usually the Eagles' talisman, failed to produce in caretaker manager Paddy McCarthy's first and potentially only match in charge, with former boss Roy Hodgson in the fold to replace him during the upcoming international break.
The Palace winger, whose contract expires in June, was culpable for Arsenal's first two goals and Petit slammed his efforts at half-time. "When you lose a manager two days ago, you have to show great character and spirit. You have to fight in the danger zone," the Frenchman, who won the Premier League and FA Cup with Arsenal, said of Zaha to Premier League Productions.
