Crystal Palace manager Frank de Boer says West Brom intentionally tried to injure Wilfried Zaha with 'crazy' tackles

Frank de Boer has accused West Bromwich Albion of deliberately trying to injure Wilfried Zaha after his side emerged triumphant in a surprisingly feisty friendly in Hong Kong.

The new Palace boss did not mince his words when asked what he thought of Tony Pulis’s side’s tactics and branded some of their challenges ‘crazy’.

‘For me if you want to sell the Premier League here and the beauty of the game I saw some signs of wanting to bring the beauty of the game here and the beauty of the game is not those kind of challenges,’ he said.
