Wilfried Zaha has once more called for the authorities to take action against racists after he highlighted abuse he was sent online after Crystal Palace’s victory at Manchester City on Saturday.

Zaha scored the opener in Palace’s 2-0 win, which also saw City defender Aymeric Laporte sent off for a foul on the forward.

Zaha posted screenshots on Instagram of racist abuse he had received following the match.

Zaha wrote: ‘This message isn’t for me to get a million messages saying we stand with you and it’s disgusting or about me getting sympathy.

‘I’m not here for all the nonsense that is being done instead of fixing the actual problem!

‘I don’t mind abuse because nowadays it comes with doing the job I do even though it’s not an excuse, but my colour will always be the real problem.

‘But it’s fine because I’ll always be BLACK AND PROUD!

‘Speak to me when you actual take this issue serious [sic].’

The abuse of Zaha marred a special win for Palace, with boss Patrick Vieira hailing the result as ‘a really strong statement’.

‘The players gave everything,’ he said.
