Zaha cups ears to Old Trafford as ex-Man United man takes advantage of poor defending

A long ball over the top from Davinson Sanchez should have been easily dealt with by Red Devils full-back Diogo Dalot.

But Zaha, who signed for Galatasaray in the summer after leaving Crystal Palace, wrestled with the United defender and got the better of him.

A speculative shot hit Dalot's thigh and bounced over Andre Onana, who was off his line and could not reach the ball.

It saw Galatasaray grab an equaliser after Rasmus Hojlund had earlier put United ahead at Old Trafford.

And the Ivory Coast international made sure the home crowd were reminded of who he was after his short stint at the club.

Taunting the fans, he cupped his ears to them and roared in celebration.

Zaha made just appearances for United after signing for them in 2013, being loaned out to Palace and Cardiff before Louis van Gaal sold him back to Selhurst Park.

And after failing to score in 11 appearances against his old side, he has since netted four in his last five.

This is the first time that Zaha has started for Galatasaray in the Champions League, grabbing his first goal in the competition as a result.
