Townsend raps Crystal Palace social media team for Young taunts

Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend has criticised his own club's Twitter account over a video posted after Saturday's win over Manchester United.

The Palace page posted a video of Wilfried Zaha attempting to dribble past 34-year-old United defender Ashley Young, accompanied with the caption: “Wilf had him dancing".

Townsend, who has played for the club since 2016, replied: "A 34 y/o ex winger vs one of the leagues best wingers…

"He gets destroyed twice yet still manages to block the cross... we should be applauding this not making fun of it #Respect."
