Palace boss Pardew warns Zaha over simulation

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has had a word in his ear over diving to win free kicks from boss Alan Pardew.

Pardew said: "The one at Leicester was a penalty, but last week was a dive and now he can't play this week. He's had my feelings on it.

"He's been having a great season for us. It's just a tiny aspect of his game he needs to correct.

"He can go past players from a standing start. He is a rare breed. He's a natural wide player. It may be a nice addition for the England squad."
