Crystal Palace’s talisman was sent off in the first half of the Eagles’ 3-0 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur on Boxing Day. While the Ivory Coast wide attacker often plays on the edge and looks to be walking a disciplinary tightrope, Sunday’s dismissal was Zaha’s first in the Premier League in almost three years, with his last dismissal coming in a 1-1 draw at Southampton in January 2019. Indeed, he may fancy an on-field tussle, but getting sent off represents an anomaly for the West African.
