   A 12-year-old boy has been arrested by police investigating   
   racist messages sent to Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha on   
   social media.   
      
   Zaha revealed he had received several abusive messages on social   
   media before Sunday's trip to Aston Villa, a game they lost 2-0.   
      
   His manager Roy Hodgson called the abuse "cowardly and   
   despicable".   
      
   The Premier League called the abuse of the 27-year-old Ivory   
   Coast winger "completely unacceptable".   
      
   West Midlands Police tweeted Zaha to say they would look into   
   the abuse and hours later confirmed an arrest.   
      
   "We were alerted to a series of racist messages sent to a   
   footballer today and after looking into them and conducting   
   checks, we have arrested a boy," read a WM Police tweet.   
      
   "The 12-year-old from Solihull has been taken to custody. Thanks   
   to everyone who raised it. Racism won't be tolerated."   
      
   Speaking to Sky Sports before the arrest, Hodgson added: "It's   
   been highlighted at the moment anyway with the Black Lives   
   Matter movement and everyone seems to be making such an effort   
   to eradicate this behaviour.   
      
   "It is very sad that, on the day of a game, a player wakes up to   
   this cowardly and despicable abuse. It's right Wilf has made   
   people aware of it and I don't think this is something you   
   should keep quiet about.   
      
   "He wants to put off one of our best players from playing well   
   today, but to do it in the way he has chosen is totally   
   inexcusable."   
      
   The Premier League said: "This behaviour is completely   
   unacceptable and the Premier League stands alongside Wilfried   
   Zaha in opposing this, and discrimination in any form.   
      
   "We will continue to support players, managers, coaches and   
   their family members who receive serious discriminatory online   
   abuse."   
      
   Players in England's top flight have been kneeling in support of   
   the Black Lives Matter movement before every match since the   
   season restarted in June.
