Wilfried Zaha racially abused on social media as EFL condemn racism after three incidents this weekend
Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha was called a ‘diving monkey’ on the same day there were three incidents of racist abuse in the English Football League.Zaha, who won a penalty in Palace’s defeat of Newcastle, retweeted a message from a Newcastle fan, which read: “Such a diving Monkey @WilfriedZaha”.The offensive tweet has since been deleted.3Elsewhere,Northampton Town pair Timi Elsnik and David Buchanan said some of their team-mates were racially abused at a hotel prior to their League Two match at Notts County.The pair took to Twitter on Saturday night following the 2-2 draw at Meadow Lane to highlight the incident, with Elsnik writing: “Went for a pre match walk with the team in Nottingham and this young man outside the hotel started racially abusing some of our lads.“The most disgusting thing I’ve seen & heard! He’s done it in front of his girl as well with no shame so he must do it all the time. Absolute idiot!”Buchanan corroborated Elsnik’s version of events. “Today I witnessed racial abuse to some of our players in the @Village_Hotels in Nottingham!” he wrote. “Can’t believe we still have scum like this in 2019! Credit to our boys who handle it impeccably.”Furthermore, a Brentford season-ticket holder was removed from Griffin Park and arrested after he was alleged to have abused Derbys Duane Holmes, who reported the incident to his manager, Frank Lampard.A Brentford statement read: “Brentford Football Club can confirm that a season-ticket holder was arrested following today’s game against Derby County.“The man in question has been accused of committing a racially-aggravated public order offence in the later stages of today’s game. He was identified at the time, removed from the ground and subsequently arrested.“Brentford FC will continue to liaise with the Metropolitan Police, who will now investigate the incident.“The club utterly condemns discrimination of any kind. It is abhorrent and has no place in society and we are determined to drive it out of Griffin Park.“The most severe sanctions will be imposed on any individual convicted of discrimination and we will await the result of the Police investigation before commenting further.”Derby said in a statement that Holmes would ‘receive the club’s full support after being subjected to such abhorrent behaviour’.3The Metropolitan Police confirmed a man was in custody and an investigation was ongoing.There were also allegations of racial abuse towards Wigan player Nathan Byrne, with the club reporting to the police a sickening message sent to the wing-back on social media.Byrne posted a screenshot on his Twitter account of a sickening message he received following the Latics’ 2-2 draw with Bristol City.The EFL condemned all forms of abuse in a statement released on Sunday.“The EFL was saddened, disappointed and angered to hear of further reports of alleged racism following the conclusion of some matches on Saturday afternoon,” the statement read.“It was exceptionally disappointing that this happened as clubs up and down the country were raising awareness of such issues as part of Kick it Out’s Week of Action.“We cannot, and will not, accept this type of behaviour inside our stadiums, as we know our clubs won’t.3“We remain fully committed to continuing to work alongside The FA and Premier League as well as other relevant parties to ensure that football provides a welcoming environment for supporters attending matches and those participating in them.“Our work with all EFL clubs continues and we will assess and develop our role in this area through our established Equality Code of Practice, our League-wide Inclusion Plan and our ongoing dedicated security operations, enhancing these where necessary.“These initiatives deliver best practice advice and guidance for tackling all forms of discrimination and hate crime in stadiums, while we also continue to collaborate with Kick it Out to ensure we eradicate this reprehensible behaviour from our game.”

Gareth Bale: Zinedine Zidane questions Manchester United transfer target’s commitment to Real Madrid
Zinedine Zidane has questioned Gareth Bales commitment to Real Madrid following Sundays 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano.The Welshman played the full 90 minutes as Real slumped to their tenth league defeat of the season.2Bale, who has not scored in seven games, has failed to secure a regular starting place since Zidanes return to the Bernabeu in March.It has led to speculation surrounding his future, with long-term admirers Manchester United reportedly interested in a summer move.And after losing to Rayo Vallecano, Zidane said: I do not know if he [Bale] is focused on Madrid.

• Eintracht Frankfurt vs Chelsea (Thursday, 8pm) – talkSPORT 2
• Cardiff vs Crystal Palace (Saturday 5:30pm) – talkSPORT

Despite winning four Champions League trophies and one LaLiga title in Spain, Bale has come under-fire for his performances and injury problems from Real fans.Last week, Zidane warned Real stars who are unhappy with their playing time should go elsewhere and get more minutes.He said: If they’re under contract, they can stay here, even if they know that they’re not going to get game time. However, I think that all of them are looking to play. If I was asked the question, I’d want to go elsewhere and get more minutes.With 22 or 23 players in the squad, the reality in football is that there will be players who will end up getting less game time.But if there’s no space for a given player, it’s better for them to go and play.In March, Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, joined talkSPORT where he called the Real Madrid fans who booed him ‘disgusting’, adding the player ‘loves’ playing for the club.He said: He loves his football, he loves Real Madrid and he wants to play.2It is about whether he enjoys playing for Real Madrid and he does at this moment. It might well be the time will come that he has had enough but maybe by coming out and saying what I think, some normal human beings at Real Madrid will think hold on a minute, it is wrong what we are doing and maybe they will change.If nobody says anything then it could lead to bad things in the future. Somebody has to say it.

Tammy Abraham: Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo refuses to rule out move for Chelsea striker
Nuno Espirito Santo has remained coy on Wolves’ rumoured pursuit of Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham.The 21-year-old forward is currently on loan at Aston Villa, where a sensational run of goalscoring form has seen him become the Championship’s joint-top scorer despite missing the first six games of the season.GETTY1And reports suggest the Blues are tempted to cut the England international’s loan short and cash in oninterest from Premier League side Wolves.Following his side’s 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, Wanderers boss Santo refused to rule out a possible move.“I cannot comment on that,” he said. “I can comment on how we work and the transfer window is now. We anticipated it before. “We have to look at it and analyse what we have in front of us and who can deliver. Anything can happen.“This squad will stay with us, the core is there, we have to know if we need something.”However, Dean Smith, whose Villa side are in hot pursuit of the Championship play-off places, expects to keep Abraham until the end of his season-long loan.“Tammy has shown no inclination to go back to Chelsea,” Smith said after Abraham scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with QPRon New Years Day.“In the conversations I’ve had with him he is enjoying himself at Villa and is developing as a player.“Chelsea seem very happy, as he is developing as a player and scoring goals in the Championship. For all three parties, it is win, win, win.“So I would be amazed if anything happened to prevent him playing for Villa.”

Manchester United 0-2 Manchester City: Pep Guardiola’s men replace Liverpool at the top of the Premier League
Manchester City moved back to the top of the Premier League table after a 2-0 defeat over rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.Goals from Bernardo Silva and Leroy Sane ensured Liverpool slipped to second place in the Premier League with just three games to go and the gap now to one point.5Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side put in a strong performance and contained the visitors in the first half, but the quality from City prevailed in the end.Liverpool will now take on Huddersfield Town on Friday night, before Pep Guardiola’s men take on Burnley at Turf Moor.After making it 11 straight Premier League victories in a row on Wednesday night, few would bet against the Citizens retaining their title.The game started at a frenetic pace and City initially struggled to get into their rhythm, needlessly giving the ball away on several occasions.5However, they began to look menacing as half time approached, with Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva testing David De Gea.The visitors were dealt a cruel blow as Fernandinho was taken off with suspected knee ligament damage, but the substitution effectively changed the game.With Leroy Sane providing width on the left and both Silva’s deployed through the middle, United fell behind thanks to the Portugal midfielder’s rasping drive at the near post.Substitute Sane doubled the lead in the 65th minute after a counter attack by the visitors ended with De Gea inexplicably deflecting the German’s drive into the net.5Moments before, Jesse Lingard missed a glorious chance to level the game with the goal seemingly gaping. This moment perhaps best summed up the hosts as they lacked the cutting edge to truly rival their ‘noisy neighbours’.United tried to find a way back into the match, with substitute Romelu Lukaku testing Ederson, but City showed the composure to hold on.The defeat was United’s seventh in their last nine games in all competitions – their worst run since 1962.

STAR MAN – David Silva

5Once City settled at Old Trafford, they looked dangerous on the break and in possession. And the architect behind that was their silky Spaniard.His namesake may have got the goal, but the former Valencia man got on the ball and moved it past the static United midfielders.And when required, the 33-year-old got back and defended for his side – a true role model for the next generation of City starlets.
