Crystal Palace moved off the bottom and out of the Premier League relegation zone with a sensational late rally to see off 10-man Watford 2-1 at Selhurst Park.

Daryl Janmaat’s fourth-minute goal for the Hornets looked to have been decisive, but Tom Cleverley’s sending off three minutes from time switched the momentum and Palace substitutes Bakary Sako (89) and James McArthur (90+1) struck to complete the turnaround.

Both goals were provided by the dogged Wilfried Zaha, who dazzled once again in front of his home fans in a game where Palace failed to register a shot on target for the first 88 minutes.

The victory means Roy Hodgson’s side have taken 12 points from their last six home games.
