Kenyon: Shaun is no diver

Shaun Wright-Phillips is not a diver according to Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon.

Wright-Phillips was accused of play-acting to get Newcastle’s Robbie Elliott sent off in the last minute of Chelsea’s FA Cup quarter-final win at Stamford Bridge.

Alan Shearer and Glenn Roeder both criticised the England international after the game but Kenyon hit back in defence of Wright-Phillips.

Kenyon said: “He’s not that type of player in my opinion. He is certainly a fair player and he is not someone who goes to get players sent off.

“It was an unfortunate comment.”
