​Hodgson denies official approach by Crystal Palace over Zaha treatment

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has denied that there had been any specific contact from the club to the Professional Game Match Officials over the treatment of Wilfried Zaha.

Mathias Jorgensen was yellow-carded for a foul on Zaha during the Eagles' 1-0 win at Huddersfield last weekend leaving the Ivory Coast international furious.

"I feel like I'd have to get my leg broken for anyone to get a red card," he said after the match.

Hodgson explained: "I think that was quite simply that after every game that clubs are asked to comment and asked to send a report after every game. There has been no specific contact."
