Best player in the world for his time. Imagine that talent being injury free his whole career. His figures might have been better than that of Messi/Ronaldo.

โฝ๏ธ The match against the Southern League champions was in preparation for the

Zaha's goal was ruled offside by VAR for this!
If it's not clear, give the goal. Benefit of the doubt rather than holding the game up for ages on this. The whole point of offside was to stop people hanging around the opposition goal. Common sense needs introducing.
