FURTHER BAN FOR ZAHA

WILFRIED ZAHA has been banned for Crystal Palace’s FA Cup fifth-round trip to Doncaster as additional punishment for sarcastically applauding referee Andre Marriner. An appeal by the winger was dismissed by the FA yesterday. Zaha has already served a one-match suspension for his sending-off at Southampton last month, when he was shown a second yellow card for clapping Marriner. The FA issued the 26-year-old with a further charge of improper conduct for continuing to applaud the official while leaving the pitch at St Mary’s. Zaha challenged that charge but has lost his appeal, meaning manager Roy Hodgson will not be able to use him tomorrow.
