He initially tried to be peacemaker and calm Zaha down - that ultimately got him sent off.
Either walk away or show the ref what happened - let VAR deal with the rest.
He'll learn.
Looking forward to next time he faces Zaha

In a few years time:
The club are delighted to announce the return of Erik Lamela as director of brickhousery.

Because he was playing well
First yellow was taking one for the team
The player reacting should have got a red (like son did before)
Second yellow was a yellow for sure but wouldn’t have happened if the ref had done his job first time

Tanganga should have just started rolling around on the ground after that throat grab

Davies is a woeful player now who needs to leave for his own sake

Zaha is a moaning little bitch and should have gone for his actions.

He hates it when he gets hit
But that’s his game

Agree, imo he is one of the most overated players in the Prem. The way he came at Tanguy was way out of order and shows what a brat he really is.

Unfortunately the ref got those decisions right yesterday. Saha didn’t kick out like Son did against Rudiger and deserved yellow only. Tanganga was then incredibly stupid to lunge in for a ball he wasn’t going to win a few minutes later. He cannot be defended for that and it might’ve cost us a point (though we were very much 2nd best to a mediocre Palace team at 11 v 11 anyway).

He didn’t kick out
He swung his arms 4 times and in the direction of Tanganga face. It’s why Tanganga wrapped him up. It’s a red IMO. He didn’t hurt Tanganga but if it had been the other way round zaha would be playing dead
Imagine if that had been in lamela….

Spot on, the intent by Zaha was to attack Tanguy and was only stopped by Tanganga wrapping him up as you say. There is a picture on here somewhere showing Zaha grabbing Tanguys neck. Anyone who thinks that is NOT a sending off offense has not been paying attension.

Think a red would have been harsh to be honest. He was borderline but he didn't strike Tanganga. If anything Japhet did him a favour by holding down his hands. As others have said, Lamela would have easily manufactured a red card there.
If one of ours went for that, I'd be furious.

Ah come on. He's hardly struck him there. If that's a sending off, the game has gone.

Grabbing someone by the throat is ok with you?

Not really but it’s a yellow card rather than a red for me. If he actually strikes Japhet, particularly in the face, he’s gone (even if, personally, I think that rule is abused as it is). Zahas grab is not a red for me.
Bedfordspurs
Chris Waddle
The issue you raise is the rule is abused and I agree
But I’ve seen sendings off for much much less reactions, because players act on it
