Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha, centre, scored the winner against Southampton on the opening day of the Premier League season (Richard Heathcote/PA)Wilfried Zaha put speculation about his future behind him to fire Crystal Palace to an opening-day victory over Southampton. 🙌 What a way to get his 50th league goal for Palace. Southampton, who were one of the form teams once football resumed last season, were without Stuart Armstrong and it offered Will Smallbone an opportunity. The pitchside monitor was needed not long after when Walker-Peters caught Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell with a high challenge in the 49th minute. Southampton were denied an equaliser with 53 minutes on the clock when Guaita produced a superb point-blank save to deny Adams from close-range.
