Crystal Palace striker Wilfried Zaha has revealed his favorite goal for the club and his favorite Premier League stadiums to play in.
Zaha revealed all during an impromptu Twitter Q&A where fans asked him questions and Eagles fans will be delighted with his answers.

The Ivorian has fond memories of his quick double that sank Brighton in the 2013 Championship Play-offs
Zaha listed his favorite goal as his diving header for Palace against bitter rivals Brighton in the 2013 Championship play-off semi-final second leg.
The first leg ended goalless at Selhurst Park, but two goals from Zaha in the final twenty minutes sent the Eagles to Wembley where they overcame Watford to secure promotion to the Premier League.
When asked about his favorite outdoor stadium in the Premier League, unsurprisingly Zaha opted for Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.
Palace have won twice and drawn one of their last five trips to the Etihad with Zaha on the scoresheet in their last victory there – a 2-0 victory in 2021.
Patrick Vieira’s side have an impressive record at the Gunners with one win and three draws in their last five trips to north London.
Zaha’s links with a departure from Selhurst Park have become a summer ritual of late, sparked by his transfer request in 2019.
