Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha bemoans referees’ ‘different treatment’

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has lashed out at the ‘different treatment’ he receives from referees, stating that it restricts his ability to express himself.

Zaha's style of play has made him a target of rough treatments from opposing players but, according to the player, they hardly get penalised appropriately for such, thus, leading to his frustration.

On Saturday, the former Manchester United player was again at the centre of action as he led the Eagles to a win over Huddersfield Town on his return from a groin injury.

In the 27th minute, Mathias Jorgensen was booked by Lee Mason for upending him and Zaha himself was brandished a yellow card two minutes later for another foul.
