Crystal Palace: Wilfried Zaha given a one-match ban

Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace and England winger Wilfried Zaha has been issued with a one-match suspension and a £3000 fine.

The punishment comes after an FA disciplinary hearing over a gesture he made to Leeds United fans in the sides' 2-2 draw earlier this month.

The 20-year-old will now miss Palace's next match, at home to Birmingham on 29 March.

The forward has made 40 appearances for the Eagles this season, scoring six goals.

Zaha made his England debut against Sweden in November and joined Premier League leaders Manchester United in January before being immediately loaned back to Palace.
