# Crystal Palace: Fans slam Ward-Prowse as Zaha footage emerges

**Several Crystal Palace fans have been having their say on James Ward-Prowse after the Southampton midfielder commented on a 2019 clash with Wilfried Zaha.**

The Saints star went past [300](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/james-ward-prowse/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/181579) appearances for the club earlier this season and was shown some of his best bits in a video shared on the [club’s official YouTube account](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6UbdNWScc0).

Numerous goals and free-kicks were on show, but one heated moment included was between Ward-Prowse and Zaha in [January 2019](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46968491) during a 1-1 draw – a game in which [both players were on the scoresheet](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46968491).

Zaha was sent off after two quick yellow cards following an altercation with Ward-Prowse, who celebrated with the Saints fans after the Palace star was dismissed.

Ward-Prowse simply said ‘oops, second yellow’ when he watched the footage back, which seems to have irritated plenty of Eagles supporters.

### This is what these Palace fans had to say, with many hitting out at the England international…

**“Celebrating a 1-1 home draw against a Roy Hodgson managed side tells you all you need to know. Wilfried Zaha is gargantuan and lives in their heads rent free.”**

**“Memorable game, you drew 1-1 at home to ten man Roy Hodgson palace. We are massive”**
