Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha wants social media companies to do more to combat online racism.

The Ivory Coast forward was the subject of racist abuse after his terrific display against Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday.

Zaha inspired Palace to a 2-0 win away to last season's champions, scoring a goal and getting a City player sent off.

"This message isn't for me to get a million messages saying 'we stand with you' and 'it's disgusting' or about me getting sympathy," Zaha wrote on Instagram.

"I'm not here for all the nonsense that's being done instead of fixing the actual problem.

"I don't mind abuse because nowadays it comes with doing the job I do even though it's not an excuse but my colour will always be the real problem but it's fine because I'll always be BLACK AND PROUD.

"Speak to me when you actually take this issue seriously."
