Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has accused Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha of diving during last night's 0-0 draw.
Zaha was furious with referee Darren England after Phillips and his team-mates escaped bookings despite repeatedly kicking him.
The Palace forward let his frustration boil over in the first half when he appeared to raise his hands towards Raphinha.
"He is a good player but we defended against him well as a team," said Phillips. "The ref complained at us for fouling him but I think he dives a lot to be honest with you."
Meanwhile, Palace boss Patrick Vieira said: “I was happy Wilf kept his cool because it looked like they planned to stop him by fouling him, but I wasn't worried.
“That will not be the first time teams try to frustrate him.
“I think he is used to it. But yes, I was angry. There were too many incidents.
“This is the way they play. But Wilf showed a lot of maturity and tried to concentrate on the game."
