Whilst I am no fan of VAR, something needs to be done about all the cheating that is going on. I watched Palace and City yesterday. On several occasions players on both sides went down clutching their faces or their legs, invariably rolling around in supposed agony.

The Sky replays showed in most cases that no-one made contact with them and, if they did, it was nowhere near where they were claiming to be injured.

In one case a City player went down claiming a head injury. Minimal contact by the Palace player but they then went through the concussion protocol before play continued.

The ultimate irony being that on a couple of occasions the offenders told the opposition player to get up and stop cheating, only to do exactly the same themselves.
