Patrick Vieira hails Wilfried Zaha and Ebere Eze impact as Crystal Palace secure comeback win

Patrick Vieira has praised Wilfried Zaha and Ebere Eze after the pair both netted in Saturday's comeback win over Southampton at St Mary's.

Chasing their first win in five games, Palace made the worst start possible on the south coast as Oriol Romeu opened the scoring with a header from a corner after just ten minutes. At the other end, the Eagles missed chances through Conor Gallagher and Jean-Philippe Mateta but did enjoy the better of possession, going into the break a goal down but not out of the contest.

And so it proved to be, with Eze firing his first goal of the season past Fraser Forster on the hour mark after being picked out by former Saints man Nathaniel Clyne at the back post. It was a definitive moment for the midfielder, who was making just his third league start of the season after recovering from a season-ending Achilles injury suffered last May.
