# Everton: Fans joke as Wilfried Zaha match stat emerges

**Everton continued their winning streak in the Premier League after snatching three points from Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.**

Saturday’s fixture saw regular goal scorers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison get themselves on the the scoresheet to claim a 2-1 win on the road.

Cheikhou Kouyate cancelled out Everton’s opening goal, but a penalty to the Toffees sealed the fate of both sides.

Sky Sports’ stat man Matt Cheetham revealed that Wilfried Zaha failed to dribble past a single Everton player during the game. This is reportedly the first time he has failed to register a successful dribble at Selhurst Park in four years (relayed via [@TheGwladysSt](https://twitter.com/TheGwladysSt/status/1309969696440057856)).

Naturally, loads of Blues fans are loving this and are praising their team’s solid defensive performance. Although, a lot of fans are also putting it down to the fact that Zaha is one of Everton’s [recently linked targets](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/everton-fc-transfer-rumours/everton-fans-buzz-wilfried-zaha-transfer-links/), which is why he was off in his attacking form.

One supporter has tweeted that the [£39.6m-valued forward](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wilfried-zaha/profil/spieler/145988) ‘wants to sign for us’, whilst another has said ‘cue Brands’, as they await a potential deal from the sporting director.
