Richarlison did not dive to win Watford a penalty against Arsenal and I would be very surprised if the incident was referred to the FA panel today.

It was the correct decision to award the penalty as there was contact between him and Héctor Bellerín, the Arsenal defender, that wasn’t initiated by the forward.

It is interesting because I’ve looked at three angles of the incident; the first one looks like nothing, there appears to be no contact, the second also looks like no contact but a third angle that I’ve studied shows Bellerín’s left leg hit the right leg of Richarlison. There is contact. We as referees cannot work out if that’s sufficient contact to award a penalty but what we try to understand
