successful first for Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace

Appointed coach of Crystal Palace on July 4 after his experience at OGC Nice which ended last December, Patrick Vieira led his new team for the first time this Saturday, in a friendly match against Walsall.

For his big first, the French coach had the victory (1-0) thanks to Wilfried Zaha, author of the only goal of the game before the break (41st). The English adventure is therefore off to a good start for Patrick Vieira.

A strong performance to kick-off a new chapter 👏#CPFC | https://t.co/utMcYSDkhb pic.twitter.com/15FCLLbT8D
