Wilfried Zaha Is Fed Up Of Getting 'Different Treatment From Referees'

Wilfried Zaha Is Fed Up Of Getting 'Different Treatment From Referees'

Crystal Palace's goalscorer as they picked up a 1-0 win away to Huddersfield this afternoon, Wilfried Zaha has seemingly had enough of unfair treatment from referees.

The most prominent attacking threat for Roy Hodgson's side, Zaha repeatedly finds himself on the receiving end of close attention from opposition defenders.

Nothing that similar players of his ilk aren't used too also, the former Manchester United man nevertheless believes that his aggressors are going largely unpunished.

Compared to some of his fellow Premier League players, Zaha is under the impression that referees take a more lenient approach to dealing with these issues when he is on the receiving end.

Speaking to the BBC post-match, Zaha was visibly bemused at what appears to be a long-standing concern for him.

I don't even know what to say anymore. I feel like before anyone gets a red card I'd have to get my leg broken.

Tired with such close attention, Zaha does have a tendency to react to this relaxed style of refereeing when it is he that is in immediate danger.

This is why I lose my head ... some of the yellow cards, like against Watford the guy stood on the back of my calf and it's still a yellow card.

Why am I getting different treatment to other players? I just don't understand it and it's every week, every referee.

You can watch an impassioned Wilfried Zaha discuss the issue below.
