John GreelyDec 28, 2014

The big headline from Sunday's Premier League action was the yellow card that Cesc Fabregas received for "diving" and manager Jose Mourinho's subsequent reaction.

Fabregas was booked in the 55th minute of Southampton vs. Chelsea after going down in the box under pressure from Matt Targett. Referee Anthony Taylor adjudged the Spaniard to have embellished the contact, but replays seemed to show a clear foul.
