Southampton ace Schneiderlin: Chirpy Cesc always on the wind up!

Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has spoken of his dismissal earlier this season against Chelsea.

Schneiderlin, a £25m target for Arsenal, received two bookings in the 1-1 draw against Jose Mourinho's Blues - the second for a late tackle on Cesc Fabregas.

He told L'Equipe: "I got annoyed with Cesc Fabregas because he wouldn't stop talking, he kept doing these little things.

"He made me lose my head and, during one play, I forgot that I was already on a warning, I saw him go down the line and I thought that this was the moment to unleash a little challenge on him. Something that I realise I did stupidly."
