Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has called for protection from referees.

There have been calls in the past for referees to give players like Zaha more protection, and the 25-year-old admits he hopes any fouls on him will be dealt with by the officials.

“As everyone knows, I am supposed to have a reputation for myself for going down easily so most of the time I don't get anything," he said.

“It is hard, because I do get hacked down, but it's a thing that I have to deal with as I get older and be mature enough to not react.

“I do get annoyed about it, but I just have to cope with it and hope that the referees do give me enough protection in the games."
