(Reuters) - Wilfried Zaha may be Crystal Palace's 'talisman' but it would be unfair to pin the struggling club's hopes of staying in the Premier League solely on his shoulders, his manager Roy Hodgson said on Thursday.

The Ivory Coast international returned from a two-month spell on the sidelines to score the winner against defending champions Chelsea last weekend and give Palace their first points of the campaign.
