Gullit blasts Palace captain Jedinak over Sakho elbow

Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit says Crystal Palace skipper Mile Jedinak should be punished for his apparent elbow on West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho.

Palace were 3-0 up when Jedinak caught Sakho in the face with his elbow, in an incident that went unpunished by referee Mike Dean.

Gullit said on 'Match of the Day': "It's unbelievable. We talk about the FA doing something about diving, but this needs to be punished."

Alan Shearer agreed with his BBC colleague, branding the challenge "very dangerous".

"That could've been very dangerous and caused a serious injury," he said. "He puts his elbow into his face and I'm pretty sure the FA will look at that."
