Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has shared images of disgusting racist abuse he was sent after helping his team to a Premier League win over Manchester City.
Zaha scored the opening goal for Palace in their 2-0 win, and was brought down by Aymeric Laporte in the incident that saw the City defender sent off just before half time.
The forward scored his 50th Premier League goal in the process, and praised his teammates for a well-executed gameplan after the victory.
However, he later took to Instagram to share messages he was sent after the game, and called upon authorities to 'fix the problem', adding he wanted action rather than sympathy.
"This message isn't for me to get a million messages saying we stand with you and it's disgusting or about me getting sympathy," he wrote.
"I'm not here for all the nonsense that is being done instead of fixing the actual problem!
"I don't mind abuse because nowadays it comes with doing the job I do even though it's not an excuse but my colour will always be the real problem, it's fine because I'll always be BLACK AND PROUD!
"Speak to me when you actually take this issue serious."
