Wilfried Zaha On His Best Form

Wilfried Zaha is congratulated by his England under-21 team-mates.

Wilfried Zaha’s first goal for England Under-21s set Stuart Pearce’s side on course for a record eighth successive victory against Romania last night.

United reached an agreement with Crystal Palace in January for the 20-year-old, who is seeing out the season with the south Londoners before linking up with the Old Trafford side.Any watching United fans will have had their appetites whetted by Zaha’s impressive performance tonight, albeit against an admittedly poor Romania side at Wycombe’s Adams Park.

Playing as lone frontman, the Palace academy graduate marked his seventh England Under-21s appearance with a superb first-half strike, jinking past a number of defenders before curling home.
Zaha was rightly awarded man of the match for his display in what was the first of two important warm-up games ahead of this summer’s European Championships in Israel.Subs Jack Robinson and Nathan Delfouneso added extra gloss to what was an easy victory for England, who have now not tasted defeat since November 2011 and won eight on the trot without conceding a goal
