Blackburn boss Allardyce: Cesc dived to win Arsenal penalty

Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce believes Cesc Fabregas DIVED to win Arsenal's penalty in their 2-2 draw with Barcelona.

Allardyce feels barely a mention will be made of the dubious penalty won by Cesc that earned Arsenal a draw in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona.

"If that wasn't a dive either, then what was?" said Allardyce.

"I'm sure there won't be the same fuss about that as there was about Martin (Olsson), who has been slaughtered by every man and his dog."
