Ref apologised to Mourinho for Fabregas booking

It is being reported that Anthony Taylor, the referee who controversially booked Cesc Fabregas for simulation at the weekend, apologised to Chelsea manager José Mourinho for the booking.

Mourinho was incensed when Fabregas was shown a yellow card for diving and denied a penalty during Sunday’s match against Southampton, despite replays seeming to show the Chelsea midfielder being tripped by Matt Targett.
