Roy Hodgson talked up the importance of Wilfried Zaha after Crystal Palace’s 2-0 victory over Norwich, but also praised the defensive efforts of his team. He is obviously an important player for us and it was good to see him get that goal, with an assist from Wilf Zaha,” Hodgson said. “Like I have said right the way through, he is a player we need and one we are very, very loathe to lose. “People like Wilf Zaha don’t just stand up the field and wait to be served the ball, they do their defensive work as well. Farke said: “We know that we are in a negative situation due to our injury situation and it’s a pretty unlucky situation, but we don’t complain.
