Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace winger WILFRIED ZAHA has been given an extra one-game ban after being charged with improper conduct against Southampton.

ZAHA sarcastically clapped referee Andre Marriner during Palace’s 1-1 draw with the Saints after being shown a yellow card and was shown a subsequent red for his actions.

He was banned for Palace's 2-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, fined £10,000, and is likely to sit out a further match against West Ham this weekend, pending an appeal.

An FA statement read: "WILFRIED ZAHA has been suspended for one match following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing yesterday [06 February 2019]. He was also fined £10,000.

"The suspension is not currently effective whilst the player considers his right of appeal.

"The Crystal Place forward accepted a charge of improper conduct, which followed his behaviour after a second-half dismissal during the game against Southampton on 30 January 2019. "
