Chelsea ace Pedro slammed by Gary Lineker after shocking dive in FA Cup clash with Norwich
Spaniard was later sent off after another yellow after trying to con referee Graham Scott into awarding Blues a penalty
PEDRO deserves to be banned for his blatant dive against Norwich City - even though he was booked by referee Graham Scott.
That was the verdict of BBC pundit Jermaine Jenas after watching the Chelsea winger fly to the ground.
But Jenas was adamant the former Barcelona star should face retrospective action for diving in a bid to help eliminate this curse from the game.
He said: "I have to say, the distance between Gunn and Pedro looked too far for it to be a penalty. Fair play to Graham Scott to keep up with play.
KNOW WHERE ALEX-IS? Sanchez spotted for the first time in a week… but where?
"It’s shocking, it’s absolutely shocking, it really is. It’s a blatant dive.
"Like I said, fair play to Graham Scott for keeping up with the play and making the right decision.

"If we’re trying to cut it out the game I still feel players should be punished for things like that.”
Alvaro Morata was also red carded to two yellows, the first also for a dive.
In the end Eden Hazard spared Chelsea's blushes with the winning shootout penalty after the teams drew 1-1 after 120 minutes.
Michy Batshuayi scored for Chelsea and Timm Klose netted his first goal for Norwich.
