Yannick Bolasie got a great kick out of Sky Sports’ graphics gaffe

What do you get if you cross two former Manchester United players with similar surnames?

Yannick Bolasie certainly isn’t feeling sorry for himself as he recovers from his injury.

The Everton trickster is sidelined until the end of the year but he’s not letting his fitness woes get in the way of his sense of humour.

Just like new Manchester City full back Benjamin Mendy, Bolasie is a must-follow on Twitter and he treated his followers to a great spot on Saturday, after a huge afternoon for his former side.

Most pundits expected Palace’s early season struggles to continue this weekend, when Roy Hodgson’s side hosted reigning Premier League champions Chelsea but a goal from Wilfried Zaha on the stroke of half-time ensured that all three points would remain at Selhurst Park.

With no out-and-out centre-forward, Hodgson relied on the likes of Zaha, Andros Townsend and Jeffrey Schlupp to wander around up front and hopefully snatch something from the visitors.

Zaha had a tremendous day but, unfortunately for him, Sky Sports didn’t quite get his name right when he previewed the game.

Presumably mistaking the winger for former Everton and Manchester United forward, Louis Saha, Sky Sports made an unfortunate error that Bolasie thoroughly enjoyed.

We somehow don’t think the pre-match mistake will upset Zaha’s weekend too much, mind.
