Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has dismissed diving accusations against Willian.

When reminded that his Brazilian winger had been booked for simulation in their 4-0 win at Burnley seven days ago, Sarri shrugged it off.

Asked whether he had spoken to his in-form winger about curbing that side to his game, Sarri protested complete memory loss.

The Blues boss, 59, whose unbeaten outfit host Crystal Palace this afternoon, said: “No, no, no. At this moment I don't remember the situation because I am an old man – I am sorry.

“I don't remember exactly the situation you are talking about. I remember the yellow card but I don't remember his actions."
