Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor is furious regarding his team in South America.

Textor is also part of the ownership group of Botafogo in the Brazilian Serie A.

They were 11th last season, but have been outstanding this term and are top of the league with eight games to go.

However, a tense game against Palmeiras, their title rivals, saw them lose 3-0.

Post-game, co-owner Textor went on television and stated: “This is corruption."

A controversial red card given to Botofago defender Adryelson after a VAR review is what caused the tension.
