Zaha apologises after applause leads to red card
Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha has apologised for getting sent off in his side's draw with Southampton on Wednesday.
Zaha had given Palace a first-half lead at St Mary's, but was sent off late after picking up two yellow cards in a minute, with James Ward-Prowse having earlier equalised.
The Ivory Coast international lashed out at Ward-Prowse to be booked before applauding referee Andre Marriner, leading to his second yellow card.

"All I can do is apologise to the team and the fans for my red card tonight because I could have cost us today," he wrote on Twitter.
