Wilfried Zaha emphasised his importance to Crystal Palace ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline but his side had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Brentford following Yoane Wissa’s late equaliser.

Talisman Zaha, who is reportedly a target for Chelsea and Arsenal before the window closes, looked to have earned Palace a slender win with a stunning second-half opener.

But the battling Bees snatched a share of the spoils against their London rivals thanks to unmarked substitute Wissa heading home two minutes from time.

Thomas Frank’s visitors very nearly left Selhurst Park with all three points as Rico Henry then squandered a golden opportunity in stoppage time before Ben Mee headed against the crossbar.

Michael Olise hit a post for the Eagles ahead of Zaha’s 59th-minute opener, while many of Brentford’s earlier forays forward were undermined by a lack of cutting edge.

Worryingly for Palace, the momentum of the game is swinging Brentford's way. If there are going to be winners here, the visitors seem the more likely.

There'll be five more minutes of this. That's enough time for either team to find a winner if they want to!

Brentford's excellent record of scoring away from home continues. They've scored three goals in the last 15 minutes of games so far this season. Only Liverpool have scored more. To their credit, they don't give up.

Brentford are trying their best but a comeback does not feel likely at this stage. Frank's men have been muted.
