WATCH: West Brom 0-2 Crystal Palace match highlights
Sunday 5 March 2017 00:04, UK
Second-half goals from Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend fired relegation-threatened Crystal Palace to a vital 2-0 win over in-form West Brom.
Zaha lit up a poor Premier League encounter at The Hawthorns when he opened the scoring after a neat piece of skill in the 55th minute.
The Ivory Coast international superbly chested the ball beyond Chris Brunt from Yohan Cayabe's ball and fired past Ben Foster with a fierce left-footed effort into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
Townsend wrapped up victory, Palace's second in successive games, with a superb solo effort six minutes from time.
Picking the ball up in his own half, Townsend shuck off a challenge before getting into the area and firing into the bottom corner from an angle.
The result lifted Palace out of the bottom three and indicated Sam Allardyce's work is now starting to bear fruit after a frustrating start with the Eagles.
Palace are up to 17th, and are now three points clear of the drop zone after their third win in five games, while West Brom stay eighth, nine points off the top six.
