Roy Hodgson: 'Wilfried Zaha not a diver'

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says that winger Wilfried Zaha is not a diver after the youngster won two penalties against Bournemouth over the weekend.

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has defended Wilfried Zaha following diving claims against the winger during the club's clash against Bournemouth over the weekend.

Zaha proved vital as he won two penalties in the 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park, Luka Milivojevic scoring the first and Christian Benteke spurning the other during injury time as Hodgson's side moved to a five-game unbeaten run in the league.

"He doesn't dive, that's the simple fact of the matter," said Hodgson, according to Sky Sports News.

"Apart from the two penalties awarded there were at least half a dozen other occasions where if you look at it with a fine-toothed comb, like everyone seems to want to do, there could have been more penalties.

"He doesn't dive, so that doesn't bother me. We haven't had an awful lot of luck with refereeing decisions at home."

Palace find themselves rooted to the foot of the table after the draw, but are potentially just one win away from climbing out of the bottom three.
