Neil Warnock claims referee was influenced

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock says referee Craig Pawson was "influenced" by Chelsea players in the Blues' 2-1 win at Selhurst Park.

Warnock said: "The one thing I've not missed when I've been doing media work is refereeing performances like that.

Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta was sent off for a two-footed challenge three minutes before Palace's Damien Delaney was also sent off.
"I thought he was influenced today. He had four Chelsea players around him."
Delaney had already been booked for a foul on Loic Remy before he was shown a second yellow card he tangled with the France striker.
Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matic and Oscar went referee Pawson as he dismissed Delaney, whom Warnock claimed after the game he had planned to substitute.
"I was just about to put Adrian Mariappa on," said Warnock.
"For the second booking Remy dives and then you have four Chelsea players surrounding the referee. I thought those days were gone banned.
Goals from Oscar and Fabregas gave Chelsea victory at Selhurst Park, with Fraizer Campbell netting a late consolation for Palace.
this loss leaves Palace 16th on the log with 8 points with Chelsea increasing their point to 22 and they remain unbeaten in the league after 8 games
