Wolves had five shots on target but could not find a way past Vicente Guaita in the Palace goal.
“We knew that we had to have a fast start, and I am happy that we managed to take the lead. We just had to kick on from there, really – it was the most difficult game,” said Zaha.
“In the second half, they just put [us under] pressure and pressure. The fact that we worked so hard together managed to get us the three points today.”
Speaking about the squad depth, Zaha added: “You’re seeing what Michael [Olise] is doing on the far side.

“We have just got to keep our heads down and take every game as it comes. There is no easy game in the Premier League. Today, in the second half, I feel as though I literally ran the whole half and didn’t touch the ball.
