Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha says there is an agenda against him after he is handed another yellow for diving

Wilfried Zaha has responded to being involved in another diving controversy by claiming there is an agenda against him and that people want him banned.

The Crystal Palace forward had already seen a penalty appeal turned down in the 0-0 Premier League draw at Watford on Saturday when he fell under Adrian Mariappa's second-half challenge.

Replays suggested Mariappa had brought Zaha to the ground, but referee Chris Kavanagh opted to show a yellow card to the 25-year-old for simulation.
