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.

Olise attempts to repeat his trick from a few minutes ago, shooting once more from outside the box. This time, the 20-year-old can't keep his effort down.

Brentofrd are having their moments but seem rusty. The visitors send a promising free-kick into Palace's box, but Toney can only kick at thin air.

Palace are getting closer! Olise skips inside and shoots left-footed towards the bottom left corner. The ball bounces off the bottom of the left-hand post and back into play.

Chance for Palace! Doucoure robs Jensen just outside the D and feeds Schlupp, who fires straight at Raya.
