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 receives a pass from Mateta and gives Raya a comfortable save to make low in the centre of his goal.

Eze is impeded by Jensen in his own half, bringing Brentford's attack to an end. Palace seem content to attack on the counter for now.

Schlupp has a hopeful pop at Raya from distance. Brentford's goalkeeper is equal to the task, making an easy save.

It's safe to say this game hasn't caught alight yet. Brentford are just about shading possession.
