Poll convinced Watford striker Richarlison facing dive ban

Watford striker Richarlison faces a ban after his penalty won in victory over Arsenal.

Former referee Graham Poll reckons the Brazilian is in serious danger of receiving a ban after appearing to dive for Watford's equaliser in the 2-1 win over Arsenal at Vicarage Road.

Poll said: “It just didn't look right to me. My gut feeling was it wasn't a foul. Neil Swarbrick had a good view of it. It's deception, without a question.

“There is no contact. That is as clear an example of a dive as you're going to see and the FA's review panel need to have a look at that."
