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.

Brentford are preparing changes. The visitors definitely need some inspiration from the bench. They're looking short of ideas.

Mbuemo dribbles down the right but has precious little support from his team-mates. Brentford manage to keep the ball until Jensen's cross bounces out of play.

Zaha causes Hickey more problems but this time only succeeds in fouling the Brentford right-back.

That's Zaha's fourth goal of the campaign. He's scored in each of his last three Premier League games now. He's started the season in fine form.
