# Zaha heaps praise on Palace fans after Brighton draw

Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has hailed the Eagles fans following their 0-0 draw against rivals Brighton and Hove Albion.

Zaha has scored three goals in his last seven for Roy Hodgson’s side as they look to claw their way out of the relegation zone after a dismal start to the season, where they failed to pick up a single point or score a goal in their first seven games.

The Ivory Coast international heaped praise on the club’s fans on social media as Palace picked up a point on Tuesday night. The player took to Twitter to thank the fans for their support in their derby game against the Seagulls at the Amex Stadium.

The ex-Manchester United winger will be hoping to help his side pick up another three points when the Eagles travel to the Hawthorns to take on West Brom on Saturday, where former Palace boss Alan Pardew will be in the dugout for the first time for the Baggies.
