Roy Hodgson feels vindicated by the two-match ban dished out to Everton striker Oumar Niasse for diving but admits it does not help Crystal Palace's cause.
The Senegalese striker became the first Premier League player to be punished under new Football Association rules introduced in May whereby incidents which suggest a match official has been deceived by simulation are referred to a panel.
The controversial penalty won by Niasse in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Palace led to a diving charge and Everton's appeal against it was rejected.
Niasse scored Everton's second equaliser to rub salt into Palace's wounds.
