LONDON: Yoane Wissa headed a late equaliser after coming on a substitute to earn Brentford a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Tuesday (Aug 30).
Palace looked to be easing towards three points after in-form Wilfried Zaha's stunning opener in the 59th minute.
Zaha cut in from the left to curl an unstoppable right-footed effort into the far corner, his fourth goal in the Premier League this season.
But Brentford hung in and Wissa was unmarked in the penalty area to salvage a point - his effort standing after a VAR check for offside went in favour of the visitors.
Brentford almost won it late on with Rico Henry having a great chance saved but Palace hung on.
