Yohan Cabaye believes teammates Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie are crucial to Crystal Palace’s fortunes this season.

Zaha justified his starting role with a man-of-the-match performance, having been a substitute against Watford last weekend, while Bolasie grabbed his first goal at Selhurst Park since New Year’s Day 2013.

And Cabaye spoke highly of the pair after the game, insisting both players are integral to the team.

“When Wilf is on fire he can beat every left back and Yala the same,” the 29-year-old said.

“The way we want to play, they are very important, so important.

“They’re still young so they can improve their play and maybe be more important [for] assists and goals.”

Cabaye, who has starred for the Eagles since joining the club in the summer, wants Bolasie’s goal to lead to more conviction in the final third.

“It’s nice for him, I hope the goal will give him more confidence for the future, for the next game,” he added.

“He is really important and we need him at his best and we need to stay with him, to look after him because he can do some difference to get the win for us.”
