Wilfried Zaha chose to stand ahead of Crystal Palace’s match against West Brom
Wilfried Zaha chose to stand ahead of Crystal Palace’s match against West Brom to become the first player in the Premier League to stop taking the knee.
Last month Zaha revealed that he would stop taking the knee and also indicated he was uncomfortable with wearing anti-racism slogans on his match jersey.
Having not started in Palace’s 4-1 defeat against Tottenham last time out, Zaha’s actions were not under scrutiny. But starting against West Brom the winger was the only player from the 22 on the pitch to stand before kick-off.
