Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has praised wingers Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie after the pair played an integral part in the Eagles' 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
Wilfried Zaha, James McArthur and Joel Ward all struck as Palace ran amok as half-time approached -- goals which proved decisive as the hosts ran out victors with Matt Phillips' goal-of-the-season contender a mere consolation for QPR.
Bolasie created the first two goals while Zaha turned provider for the third, and Pardew was delighted with their electrifying displays on the flanks.
"I wouldn't say they were the best wingers in the country, but they're exciting," Pardew said after the game. "There's two flaws in their game, really. One -- they don't score enough goals, and two -- being disciplined in their defensive duties.
"They are two areas we've worked hard on but their individual talent, the way they go past players and lift it over their heads, that's purely from within and what they've learned in how they've been brought up.
"They were fantastic, so exciting in the first half - a kind of throw back. [Former Palace boss and ex-Manchester United winger] Steve Coppell would have been pleased today -- I hope he was watching because it was like a Steve Coppell game today."
Phillips scored a sensational consolation goal for QPR with a strike from 43 yards, and Pardew added: "No one was going to save that. That was a freak goal.
"From 25 or 30 years on a training ground, I can't remember seeing a better goal on the training ground let alone on a match day. It puts it into context.
"I remember David Beckham scoring the goal here [against Wimbledon in 1996] and from a technical point of view Phillips' one was better because it was a real, outstanding hit. He can be very proud of that."
