It looked like Rutter had an idea for a clear dive into the area. Initially, the referee decided to penalize Jaydee Cambot for a foul on the Brighton attacker, but after consideration it was clear that the Brighton star was playing for a decision.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Georginio_Rutter_deserves_severe_punishment\"><\/span>Georginio Rutter deserves severe punishment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Keith Hackett has now suggested the player should have received a harsher penalty for his dive. He believes a yellow card is not enough punishment for a player who tends to dive at every opportunity. The lack of appropriate punishment provides an incentive for players to cheat when it comes to contact in the box.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hackett called on PGMOL to take further steps to stop in-game cheating.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_to_set_example\"><\/span>Need to set example<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Georginio Rutter playing for Brighton (Photo by Mike Hewitt\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Hackett told Football Insider: &#8220;The only way to resolve simulation is a one-match suspension. Look at the review board that meets once a week. If simulation is not addressed by the referee, it should be flagged and the review board should retroactively impose penalties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they keep running away, that&#8217;s what they will do. We&#8217;re at the stage where players are not just going to shoot at goal, they&#8217;re going to go to the ground with the slightest contact and ask for a penalty kick. There&#8217;s no incentive not to do that. A yellow card isn&#8217;t enough. There&#8217;s almost an incentive to go to the ground.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Crystal Palace, on the other hand, will be pleased that VAR has ruled out referees taking penalties. Rutter will be well aware of what he did to earn Brighton a penalty and we can only hope he doesn&#8217;t repeat that simulation in the future.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jean-Philippe Mateta celebrates with his Crystal Palace teammates (Photo by Ryan Pierse\/Getty Images) Brighton were recently awarded a penalty in the Premier League against Crystal Palace after Georginio Rutter was brought down in the penalty area.
