Cesc Fabregas: Why I SHOULD have had a penalty after Santi Cazorla's challenge
CESC FABREGAS insists he should have had a penalty at the Emirates.

The Chelsea midfielder was booked for diving after going down under impact from Santi Cazorla in the first half of the 0-0 draw with Arsenal.
The former Gunner was jeered after going down theatrically and was shown a yellow card by Michael Oliver.
But Fabregas insists there was contact and he should have had a penalty.
The goalless draw means the Blues remain ten points clear at the top of the Premier League and need just five points to secure the title.
"He definitely touched me," Fabregas said.

"We are very happy. We know that a draw is not a bad result.
"We came to win, obviously, but we are happy with the point. It was a difficult game as we expected.
"It could be a big moment but we still have five games to play.
"We want to win it as soon as possible and we’ll try to do it in the next two games."
