Wan Bissaka made a clean tackle on him but the ball fell to van Aanholt. But Zaha made the run into the box to help create the goal
Also for the other goal, Maguire was shifted too far over to help cover Zaha and could not recover. Every team knows he is the main threat and the rest of the team benefit from that (in theory)

There's still mixed message on this subject from Parish which must be confusing for Zaha, in particular if the potential terms of his exit are not set out in contract.
In the interview which Parish gives he also refers to a possible scenario where Palace do very well and Zaha stays.
If he is to go, Parish also says, it has to be to the right club for Zaha (I.e at top club) and it also has to be the right deal for Palace.
Hodgson, on the other hand, gave an interview to Radio 5 where he said that the reason that Zaha wanted to join Everton was simply ‘Money,’ nothing about joining a top club.
We’re left ,on the evidence of this season so far, with a disillusioned player.
Best case situation now is that Zaha plays out of his skin to earn his move , but there must still be some doubt that a top club will come in for him or that such club will pay the money Palace require.
Worst case is that he continues to cut a distracted figure out of form and that the likes of Arsenal/Everton remain the only interested clubs at a discounted price.

I can sympathise with Zaha as it can't be easy struggling through life on only £130,000 per week

I know what you are saying but there are two sides.
the seller (club) wants highest sales price for player and for some may be interested in payment schedule because of their cash flow. Arsenal paid 72 million for Pepe over his contract and you wonder if they had offered us around £80 million over 4 years plus incentives/bonuses taking it higher would Zaha still be here? The seller has very little interest in player's new contract.

The player is interested in the package salary, bonuses and advertising rights etc plus he may be interested in buying clubs chance of silverware and their location. Would Zaha go back to Manchester where he was so unhappy? possibly money talks.

SP interview says little we didn't know already if we get right money and replacement he can go. The right money is North of £80 million plus add ons, the payment schedule is also important to us. Our major problem is our cashflow wages v income so a sale that included a loan deal with aright to buy will always be of interest.

Thats why I see Chelsea as his most likely destination. They can afford the money and they need him. he can stay in London,get high wages and be a regular first team player. They have players like Bats we would like who are surpless to their requirements. they are clearly under a transfer ban at present. But if we were to get Bats on loan in January with no loan fee and Chelsea paying wages with us having obligation to buy at end of season if still in EPL at around £30 million. Zaha to join Chelsea at end of season for an agreed fee and agreed payment schedule for both Zaha and Bats. This does not worsen our cashflow situation as we can not take on another high earner till Zaha goes

You probably know but Everton saying ‘we can afford to pay you £200k per week’ doesn’t make them any better or richer than someone who can pay him less but pay a higher transfer fee. Although this is fairly obvious and said without saying it in your post, I do get the feeling that Zaha and team of bro’s probably have difficulty understanding this or just don’t want to. Well they need to now.

Parish might be getting in there in the press early this time before the zaha bro’s try their nonsense to claim he won’t let Wilf go to PSG when there hasn’t even been a bid.
