Crystal Palace vs Southampton - LIVE!

Wilfried Zaha put speculation about his future behind him to fire Crystal Palace to an opening-day victory over Southampton.

The winger needed 13 games to get off the mark last season, but achieved the feat after only 13 minutes at Selhurst Park and it was enough to give Roy Hodgson's men a 1-0 win.

Vicente Guaita's excellent close-range save from Che Adams in the 53rd minute was the closest Southampton went with Danny Ings nullified by a makeshift Palace defence due to the Eagles missing seven first-teamers.

It could have been worse for the visitors had referee Jonathan Moss not downgraded his decision to send off Kyle Walker-Peters at the start of the second half, but despite keeping 11 players on the pitch, Ralph Hasenhuttl's side failed to fire in the capital.
