Jack Wilshere should have been sent off for an outrageous dive but luckily for him, referee Anthony Taylor’s view was blocked by a number of players.

The Arsenal midfielder was right to be cautioned in the first half when he brought down Cesc Fabregas with a reckless tackle.

But knowing he was on a yellow card, he was stupid to dive over Andreas Christensen in the second half.

Wilshere is a gifted player who has fought back from injury and his defence will be that he wants to protect himself. But with the spotlight on diving, it was a foolish act.

Chelsea’s penalty, given for a foul on Eden Hazard by Hector Bellerin, was the right call.

It was a clumsy tackle and I wondered if Arsene Wenger would criticise his defender.

But clearly he’s still got it in for referees.
