Hull should have had a penalty '100 per cent' against Chelsea as pundits Graeme Souness and Thierry Henry bemoan lack of help from linesman

Chelsea may have come away from Stamford Bridge with another vital win under their belt, but the Blues were lucky to escape without giving away a nailed on penalty, according to pundits Graeme Souness and Thierry Henry.

The Blues took the lead on the cusp of the half-time through returning striker Diego Costa, but could and perhaps should have gifted Hull the chance to make amends with a penalty in the second half.

That is the view of Souness and Henry, who in the Sky Sports studio following the clash rued referee Neil Swarbrick's missing of the incident which saw defender Marcos Alonso bring down striker Abel Hernandez on 49 minutes.
