RICHARLISO­N FACES DIVE BAN

-

THE FA will today investigat­e whether Watford’s Richarliso­n dived to get the penalty that helped his side win over Arsenal. The Brazilian fell in the box after minimal contact from Hector Bellerin. FA bosses will look into the incident under new laws allowing retrospect­ive punishment for divers. Richarliso­n could escape an FA charge if footage shows there was contact with Bellerin. If he is found guilty, he will become the first Premier League player to be punished under the new rules.
