Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira hailed two-goal Wilfried Zaha for their 3-1 win against Aston Villa.
Asked whether he felt Zaha was being targeted by the opposition, Vieira said the winger is used to such treatment but plays better and harder as a result.
“I loved his performance and don't want him to change," Vieira said. “He's a fighter. When it's tough he puts his sleeves up and is going into the fight. Today he was really good, really good for the team – worked well and defended well from the front. That allowed us to win the ball high up the field and create those chances.
“I think this is what he has to expect. The quality of his talent makes it really difficult for the opponent and sometimes they target him like they did today.
"I want him to be more calm but at times it's really difficult. The referee was quite good today and that allowed him to stay into the game and play as well as he did."
