Racist abuse against Zaha after yesterday's match

Zaha scored the initial objective as Palace won 2-0 at the Etihad on Saturday, and the Ivorian was additionally associated with the episode which saw City protector Aymeric Laporte shipped off for an expert foul. 

Zaha took to Instagram on Saturday night to post screen captures of various bigoted messages he had gotten via online media following the match. 

"This message isn't for me to get a million messages saying we stand with you and it's disgusting or about me getting sympathy," Zaha posted on his Instagram story. 

"I'm not here for all the nonsense that is being done instead of fixing the actual problem!"

"I don't mind abuse because nowadays it comes with doing the job I do even though it's not an excuse but my colour will always be the real problem but it's fine because I'll always be BLACK AND PROUD!

"Address me when you real take this issue genuine." 

Zaha has recently called for "solid move" to be taken against those found answerable for bigoted maltreatment
