Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha banned for further match and handed £10,000 fine by FA

Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has been hit with a one-match suspension and fined £10,000 by the Football Association.

Zaha was charged with improper conduct after applauding referee Andre Marriner following his dismissal in January’s 1-1 draw at Southampton.

He served a one-match suspension during Saturday’s 2-0 win over Fulham for the red card, but now faces a second game on the sidelines.

However, the Ivory Coast international could be available for Saturday’s match against West Ham as the suspension is not effective while the player considers his right of appeal.

A FA statement said: “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 Palace 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.”
