Former Premier League ref Graham Poll says Chelsea deserved a first-half penalty during their 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
Writing in the Daily Mail, Poll remarked: "Phil Dowd let Chelsea down by ignoring two headlocks by Manchester United defenders at the same setpiece and by doing so also let his select list colleague Michael Oliver down.
"Oliver was the referee who correctly awarded Swansea a penalty when Ryan Shawcross held Wilfried Bony and Dowd had the chance to reinforce referees resolve to stop this practise by awarding Chelsea the penalty they deserved for either Marcos Rojo's hold on John Terry or Chris Smalling's even more blatant hold on Branislav Ivanovic.
"Dowd chose to stick to his belief that you are remembered for what you give and not what you miss or ignore and that was a major disappointment to all neutrals who are fed up with this continual holding at set pieces."
