Wilfried Zaha says that he is "black and proud" as the Crystal Palace forward called for further action against racism following abuse in the wake of his performance against Manchester City.
The Ivory Coast international netted the opener for the Eagles in their shock triumph over the Premier League champions on Saturday, as Patrick Vieira's side stunned Pep Guardiola's visitors.
But following victory at Selhurst Park, the attacker revealed that he had been inundated with racial epitaphs and took to social media to both profess his pride and implore for greater action.
"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 his Instagram story, alongside images of abuse.
"I'm not here for all the nonsense that is 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 problems.
