Yoane Wissa’s late equaliser cancelled out Wilfried Zaha’s stunning opener as Crystal Palace and Brentford shared the spoils in a London derby that ended 1-1.
It took until the second half for the deadlock to be broken but Zaha did so in style, cutting onto his right foot on the edge of the area and bending a beautiful strike into the top corner.
Palace looked set to hold out for all three points but Brentford would not be denied as Wissa met Vitaly Janelt’s cross in the box with just two minutes remaining and guided a header past Vicente Guaita to secure a draw.
The result was a fair reflection on an evenly matched contest in which possession was shared 50-50 and the Eagles only outshot the Bees by two (13 to 11).
