An incredible parallel drawn as Big Sam masterminds 3-0 victory over Arsenal

There can be only one deadliest front three in world football.

The universal pick for the most talented forward line on planet earth is Barcelona's MSN trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. But we'll tell you one thing... Sam Allardyce is doing his damn best to recreate something similar in south-east London. Monday night saw Crystal Palace completely outclass an unprepared Arsenal side by a surprising scoreline of 3-0. But it wasn't the expected Allardyce strategy of lumping long balls up to a target man or using overly aggressive defensive tactics. Arsenal were simply outplayed at Selhurst Park and supporters felt they were witnessing a front line to rival that of the famous MSN. We saw Wilfried Zaha play the role of the greatest footballer walking the planet.  https://twitter.com/nick_fizzyGH/status/851527275250167809 https://twitter.com/PrinceyDG/status/851527288361537537 https://twitter.com/nick_fizzyGH/status/851531219183579137 And with Andros Townsend performing similar magic on the opposite flank and Christian Benteke holding up play with aplomb, there was only one parallel being drawn on social media. https://twitter.com/wesmanchild/status/851528143236190208 https://twitter.com/BILLY_1886/status/851522760815890433 https://twitter.com/RioAFC_/status/851527407320403968 https://twitter.com/jabeyodotei/status/851529233339994116 https://twitter.com/RioAFC_/status/851527407320403968 https://twitter.com/TallAsHerEyes/status/851518938710200320 https://twitter.com/JohnFranco_10/status/851528114949763074 https://twitter.com/timmyhawt/status/851534425322029061 https://twitter.com/bigtrilkaiza/status/851536457437241344
