Watford striker Richarlison escapes diving ban

Watford striker Richarlison has avoided FA punishment over diving claims against Arsenal.

The Watford Observer says any investigation against the 20-year-old has found him innocent of any wrongdoing.

The incident occurred in the second half at Vicarage Road as Richarlison went down in the box under a challenge from Hector Bellerin, despite little contact appearing to be made.

Having avoided punishment, Richarlison, who has been a revelation since joining the Hornets in the summer, will be available to face Chelsea on Saturday.
