Wilfried Zaha Lashes Out at Lack of Protection From Referees After Rough Away Win at Huddersfield

Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha has hit out at a lack of protection from referees, claiming that he would need to 'have his leg broken' before opposition players receive any form of punishment.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the Ivorian's stunning goal helped the Eagles pick up all three points last Saturday, although he was fortunate to still be in action following some heavy tackles beforehand.

Mathias Jørgensen's studs-up challenge on the 25-year-old's ankle sparked a furious reaction from Zaha, who only weeks ago had Etienne Capoue's studs raked down his Achilles.

Jørgensen only received a yellow card, whilst Zaha received the same punishment after a heavy tackle on Florent Hadergjonaj in what appeared to be a retaliatory challenge.
