Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has been charged by the Football Association for ‘improper conduct’ in their 1-1 draw with Southampton on Wednesday night.
The 26-year-old who scored the opener in the tie applauded referee Andre Marriner sarcastically for booking him after an incident with James Ward-Prowse and was subsequently shown a second yellow card for the gesture.
On Thursday, the FA charged the Cote d'Ivoire international for the behaviour and he has till February 5 to provide a response.
"Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha has been charged following the game against Southampton yesterday [30 January 2019],” read a statement from the FA spokesperson.
