Jermaine Jenas has said that the decision to condemn Callum Hudson-Odoi was diving was 'unfair'.
The winger was dribbling with the ball in the latter stages of the 4-2 victory over Burnley when he tumbled to the floor after a challenge from James Tarkowski.
Rather than awarding a penalty, the referee said that the winger had dived, something which Jenas said he sympathised with.
Speaking on Match Of The Day, he said: "I think it’s unfair personally.
"I think you can see where he is coming from but when you break it down, Hudson-Odoi is pushed in the back.
"Yes, Tarkowski pulls his leg away and that’s where you think the dive is but the left arm of Lowton is on him for a while.
"When you’re dribbling at pace and you feel that, it is easy… I don’t think it’s a penalty but I don’t think it’s a yellow card for diving either so I think it’s a little bit unfair on Hudson-Odoi.”
