The Crystal Palace winger Zaha was denied an attack in unconventional style by the Arsenal midfielder Guendouzi.
The former Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie has responded to Wilfried Zaha’s tweet after the Eagles’ 2-2 draw against Arsenal on Sunday.
Zaha, who won the penalty from which Crystal Palace scored the first of their goals at the Emirates Stadium, shared a photo of himself being wrestled to the ground by Arsenal’s Matteo Guendouzi as he sought to counter in the game’s closing seconds.
Alongside it, he wrote: ‘NFL’s at Wembley’.
But Bolasie saw Guendouzi’s actions as a compliment to his friend, delivering the following retort:
Guendouzi was unsurprisingly booked for the incident, which arguably helped to spare some of Arsenal’s blushes.
The Gunners had led Crystal Palace 2-0 from the ninth minute, but were level just seven after half-time.
Had their London rivals found a winning goal, they would have leapfrogged Arsenal into fifth position.
Bolasie, who left Crystal Palace to join Everton for £25 million in 2016, is currently on loan from the Toffees to Sporting CP.
