Zaha underlines importance to Palace in 1-1 with Brentford

LONDON (AP) — Wilfried Zaha emphasized his importance to Crystal Palace ahead of Thursday’s deadline day in the transfer market but his team had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Brentford following Yoane Wissa’s late equalizer. Zaha is reportedly a target for Chelsea and Arsenal before the window closes. He looked to have earned Palace the win with a stunning 59th-minute opener when he cut inside from the left and found the far corner from just outside the penalty area. Brentford snatched a draw against its London rival thanks to unmarked substitute Wissa heading home in the 88th.
