I'll just leave that there.

Interesting to see from the side view (i see hands onto his back). From the front (in the replays) looks like a great dive and not much in it.

Silly to give a red card for it though.

Glad to see Roman is investing his money better than our chelsea squad

No sooner had i typed that i see BBC has come up with this:

34 mins
Qarabag 0-1 Chelsea

That's a presentable chance! Cesc Fabregas' corner is whipped in and David Luiz meets it first, nodding it wide.

Just seen another replay of the penalty incident - Rashad Sadygov had hold of Willian's wrist. The red card was the right call.
 
If he gives a foul he has to send him off. I still can't really tell if it was a foul though and I've seen it a few times.
 
on another note Niasse has been done for diving.

Travesty of a decision. Whilst he goes over very very softly and simulates a much bigger contact, fact of the matter is Dann did impede him and did get in the way after the ball is gone which constitutes a foul and there was definitely more than minimal contact.

Standard FA rule for doing a small club and player thats not so popular (see non big name + foreigner) compared to all the other culprits who get away with zero contact diving.

Apparantly hes grabbed his hand but the existing youtube videos we don't see that angle. Dunno how big of a tug it was though
