FA should deal with Zaha's 'broken leg' comments, says Benitez

Wilfried Zaha's comments regarding refereeing decisions should be assessed by the FA, according to Rafael Benitez.

Crystal Palace winger Zaha claimed he would have to sustain a broken leg in a tackle for an opponent to be sent off when speaking to reporters after the South London club's game against Huddersfield on Saturday.

Palace host Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday and the Magpies boss took exception to Zaha's suggestion he is not protected by officials.
