Ex-ref Poll: Watford attacker Richarlison DIVED

Ex-ref Graham Poll has branded Watford striker Richarlison a diver after their shock win over Arsenal.

Richarlison went down under the attention of Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin to earn the spotkick.

Poll said on BT Sport: "It's definitely not a penalty. Richarlison has made such a meal of it. For me it's a dive."

Steve McManaman added: "He got this one wrong, it's not his [Swarbrick] fault, Richarlison has given him no decision to make, he's gone flying from minimal contact."
