Watch as Wilfried Zaha is given his marching orders at Southampton

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has been charged with improper conduct relating to his sending-off against Southampton on Wednesday.

Zaha received a second booking in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at St Mary's for sarcastically clapping referee Andre Marriner after his initial yellow card, and was reluctant to leave the pitch in the aftermath.

He will be suspended for Saturday's match against Fulham. Palace won without him for the first time in two years last month when they beat Leicester 1-0 at Selhurst Park.
