Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha hit with one-game ban for improper conduct

Crystal Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha has been handed a one-match ban and a fine of £10,000 for his improper conduct during a Premier League tie against Southampton.

The 26-year-old was sent off for sarcastically applauding referee Andre Marriner after receiving a yellow card for a challenge on James Ward-Prowse in the 87th minute.

Despite his expulsion, the attacker continued with the gesture and was charged with improper conduct by the FA.

Following a hearing with the Independent Regulatory Commission on Wednesday, Zaha who served a one-match ban for receiving two yellow cards by missing his side's 2-0 win over Fulham is now set to sit out another league outing, pending his appeal.
