#PLStories- Wilfried Zaha beats Cristiano Ronaldo, Saido Mane and Spurs star to Premier League goal of month award #CPFC

Wilfried Zaha has beaten the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane to win the Premier League goal of the month award for February. His goal beat out Ronaldo’s effort against Brighton and Mane’s overhead kick against the Canaries. Son Heung-Min, Oriol Romeu, Matty Cash, Neal Maupay and Conor Gallagher – nominated for his goal vs Watford – were the other players Zaha finished ahead of.

Wilfried Zaha said: “I’m just happy I’m scoring goals, and getting the recognition for it is the best thing ever. I just like to work on myself, and at the same time when I work on myself I tend to prove people wrong. I was labelled as someone who has no end product. From no end product to 56 Premier League goals – I’m just happy that my hard work is paying off. I’m happy to be receiving the award I received. I’m working hard and it’s showing.”

This is the first time Zaha has won the Premier League goal of the month and he is the first Crystal Palace player to win it since Andros Townsend won in December 2018 for his screamer against Manchester City at the Etihad.
