Patrick Vieira has laid down the gauntlet for Wilfried Zaha by telling him he should be scoring at least 20 goals a season for Crystal Palace.
The Ivorian winger is currently enjoying his most productive-ever spell in front of goal, netting 13 times across all competitions for Vieira’s side. His latest goal was a stoppage-time winner against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium where he fired past Fraser Forster from the edge of the box to seal all three points on the south coast.
The goal secured Palace’s first win since beating Arsenal 3-0 at Selhurst Park in early April and reignites the Eagles’ bid to finish Vieira ’s first campaign in charge of the club in the top half of the Premier League. To do that, they’ll need Zaha firing on all cylinders for the remaining four games of the season.
