Wilfried Zaha shared his amusement during the deadly interview with Michael Olise following Crystal Palace’s 2-1 win over West Ham on Sunday.
Olise curled the Palace winner deep into stoppage time to give Patrick Viera’s side the three points after Zaha himself undone Said Benrahma’s opening goal.
After the match, Olise provided hilariously blunt answers to questions asked about the winner, an interview Zaha conducted on social media.

‘Talk us through it,’ Olise was asked in connection with his 96th minute strike.
“Why, the target?” he answered awkwardly, which the interviewer confirmed.
“I think Wilf gave me the ball, shot, scored,” he replied.
‘Nice and short!’ the interviewer joked in response. “But it was a moment when the game won, how does it feel when the ball hits the back of the net?”
“It’s a good feeling,” Olise replied bluntly.
“Do you think you deserved it in general?” he was finally asked.
‘Yes’, was the answer.
The interview has made the rounds on social media, with several fans amused by the 20-year-old’s communication skills.
Zaha herself saw the funny side of things and responded to the video on Twitter with a series of laughing emojis.
Zaha made sure the 20-year-old scooped the winner with just seconds left in the game
The strike sparked lavish celebrations from players and fans on the other side of the ground
Palace moved up to 10th place in the Premier League with the win, with West Ham now in 15th place, just two points above the relegation zone.
Captain Declan Rice admitted his party’s fans were right to berate the players after the game, claiming that his match “wasn’t good enough” in the capital.
West Ham host Leicester in their last Premier League game before the World Cup this weekend, while Palace travel to Nottingham Forest.
