NFL's at Wembley - Zaha jokes over Guendouzi tackle on Twitter

  Wilfried Zaha compared Matteo Guendouzi's tackle on him to something out of an NFL game after Crystal Palace's controversial draw at Arsenal.

While the Cincinnati Bengals and LA Rams were battering each other at Wembley, Gunners midfielder Guendouzi brought down Zaha to stop a counter-attack in the dying embers of their clash at the Emirates on Sunday.

The foul initiated a melee between both sets of players, with tensions already running high after a number of VAR decisions affected the game, and Guendouzi was given a booking by referee Martin Atkinson.

After the final whistle, Zaha tweeted a picture of the tackle with the caption: "NFL's at Wembley..."

But Frenchman Guendouzi said: "I had to foul Zaha at the end, otherwise he is through on goal on his own. I'm the last defender but I'm far from our goal as well. I had to do it."

The two players made up after the incident, as high-flying Palace fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with the help of VAR.
