Wan-Bissaka was shown the red card as Palace lost to Liverpool on Monday night.
Everton winger and former Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie has stuck up for Eagles youngster Aaron Wan-Bissaka on Instagram after the defender was sent off against Liverpool.
Wan-Bissaka, 20, was making just his ninth Premier League appearance for Roy Hodgson’s side, after breaking into Palace’s first team towards the end of the campaign last season.
He has retained his spot this time around, starting on the right side of defence in Palace’s opening two Premier League encounters. He supplied an excellent assist in the 2-0 win over Fulham, and played well against Liverpool on Monday.
However, he received his marching orders as he hauled down Mo Salah, with the Egyptian superstar running through on goal. He was sent off, but received a round of applause for his display. Bolasie backed the young defender on Instagram.
Wan-Bissaka has wowed Palace fans in his opening two matches, gaining the plaudits of fans and pundits alike as he continues to shine on the right side of Hodgson’s defence.
However, he will miss Palace’s clash against Watford on Sunday afternoon at Vicarage Road due to being suspended. Bolasie will have played alongside Wan-Bissaka during his Palace days, with the latter coming through the youth and reserve sides.
