Cesc Fabregas SLAMS referee Anthony Taylor for poor decisions in Chelseas draw at Saints CHELSEA midfielder Cesc Fabregas claims referee Anthony Taylor had a bad day at the office after he was booked for diving during yesterdays draw at Southampton. Cesc Fabregas slams Anthony Taylors decisions during draw at St Marys Blues boss Jose Mourinho was adamant Chelsea should have had a potentially match-defining spot-kick early in the second half when Fabregas went down after a tackle from Matt Targett. I dont think the referee had the best game of his life Cesc Fabregas However, Taylor instead brandished a yellow card after adjudging the Spaniard to have dived - part of a what Mourinho believes is a growing movement against Chelsea. There was definitely contact, Fabregas said. I dont think the referee had the best game of his life but were all human and a bad day at the office can happen to anyone. Thats it, lets not talk more about it, we have to talk about football. After the Premier League leaders run of five successive wins in all competitions was ended with a 1-1 draw at St Marys, Mourinho claimed his side are the victim of a diving campaign which is costing them points. In other countries where I worked before, tomorrow in the sports papers it would be a front-page scandal because it is a scandal, the Portuguese said. I think it is a scandal because it is not a small penalty - it is a penalty like Big Ben. In this country - and I am happy with that, more than happy with that - we will just say that it was a big mistake with a big influence in the result. I am happy that it is this way, with respect for the referee. He made a big mistake like I make, like the players make sometimes.
