Wilfried Zaha gives honest verdict on Aaron Wan-Bissaka's stunning late tackle for Man United

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha hailed Aaron Wan-Bissaka after the Manchester United defender produced an outstanding last-ditch tackle in the dying seconds of Wednesday evening's 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park.

After taking the lead shortly before half-time through Bruno Fernandes' second goal in as many games, United were pegged back right at the death, courtesy of a stunning injury-time free-kick from Michael Olise. The former Reading man bent home a sensational left-footed effort, bringing an end to the Reds' nine-game winning run.

Despite that late setback, United went close to regaining the lead in dramatic fashion through Casemiro when he failed to make full contact with a corner delivery. Palace, though, posed a threat on the counter-attack and looked set to get one last chance to test David de Gea through Zaha.
