Zaha sees appeal against ban for sarcastic clap at referee dismissed

The Football Association (FA) has confirmed Wilfried Zaha has lost his appeal against a suspension and will be banned for Crystal Palace's FA Cup trip to Doncaster Rovers.

Zaha appealed against an additional one-game ban after he was sent off for sarcastically applauding referee Andre Marriner in last month's 1-1 Premier League draw at Southampton.

The forward was able to play for Palace in their draw against West Ham last time out, a game in which he scored, while he awaited a decision.

But it was confirmed on Friday the appeal has been dismissed and Zaha will miss Sunday's fifth-round tie against League One Doncaster as a result.
