WHAT an absolutely brilliant decision from Anthony Taylor to send off Victor Moses for diving.

In such a huge game it was a big and brave decision, an excellent piece of refereeing.

I applaud his call as it would have been easy just to play on and do nothing.

There was no need for Moses to go down inside the penalty area.

I would never use the word cheat, but he blatantly tried to deceive the referee and everyone who paid to watch what was one of the best FA Cup finals of recent times.

It was embarrassing and he was duly punished in the right way.

The red card possibly cost Chelsea the game.
