Former Premier League ref Graham Poll says Cesc Fabregas should have been awarded a penalty during Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Southampton.

Instead, the midfielder was booked for diving by ref Anthony Taylor.

Poll wrote in the Daily Mail: "Chelsea were denied a certain penalty when Matt Targett tripped Cesc Fabregas as the Chelsea man knocked the ball past the Southampton defender.

"It was as clear a penalty as you could want to see but referee Anthony Taylor not only denied the league leaders, but he also cautioned the Spaniard for diving.

"Chelsea have been criticised a lot of late for their players simulating offences; most recently Branislav Ivanovic on Boxing Day against West Ham."
