Van Aanholt: Silva needs to have word with Everton defender Zouma

Crystal Palace defender Patrick van Aanholt has rapped Kurt Zouma over his dismissal against Watford.

The Everton defender, on-loan from Chelsea, was given his marching orders for dissent at Vicarage Road after approaching referee Lee Probert after the match and will now miss the Toffees' next match away at Cardiff City.

Van Aanholt, reviewing the game on Sky Sports, said: "It's frustration. You can go to the referee and ask. He [Zouma] is right in his [referees] face, so I can understand why he is getting booked for that.

"But for Everton, he will be a great miss because he is a unit. He is a big strong defender. If I was a manager, I don't know what I would say to him, but I think I would have a go at him."
