Retired referee Dermot Gallagher has backed Mike Dean for the way the official handled the Diego Costa-Juan Carlos Paredes incident in Chelseas draw at Watford. But, speaking on Ref Watch on Sky Sports Now, Gallagher admitted Chelsea probably deserved a penalty in the goalless draw when Watford defender Sebastian Prodl held back Kurt Zouma from reaching a cross in the box.Chelsea interim boss Guus Hiddink has accused Watford defender Paredes of provoking Costa in an incident which saw both given a yellow card by referee Dean during Wednesdays 0-0 draw at Vicarage Road. Costa had been spoken to earlier by Dean after shoving Prodl over during a Chelsea attack but escaped sanction. Then moments before the Spain international did get booked, he went to ground from an innocuous off-the-ball contact with Paredes.Shortly afterwards, the Watford defender collapsed theatrically, rolled over and grabbed his face as Costa turned past him. Replays showed the visiting striker had made minimal contact. Dermot Gallagher joined Rob Wotton to review the mid-week refereeing decisions Gallagher said Dean was absolutely correct in booking both players.He said: Costas paid the price for the earlier things, on the totting up procedure; Paredes is totally out of order. You can see hes [Dean] really, really annoyed with what Paredes has done.He makes it quite clear its unacceptable and I think everybody would agree with that and endorse that. Guus Hiddink feels Paredes tried to get Costa sent off Questioned why Dean did not award Chelsea a penalty when Prodl later appeared to grapple with Zouma in the box, as he had for a similar incident when Newcastle drew with Manchester United last month, Gallagher admitted the official probably didnt see it.He said: Hes [Dean] in a totally different position. I think the fact hes at a different angle, he hasnt seen it. It happens week in, week out, and its something we keep addressing but we dont know a solution.Gallagher said Chelsea probably did deserve a penalty for Prodls misdemeanour.The former Premier League referee analysed 13 key incidents from Wednesday and Tuesdays matches and said the match officials were correct in almost all of them. Gallagher described an incident between Jermain Defoe and Nicolas Otamendi as quite nasty He did, however, highlight one clash which he described as quite nasty - when Sunderlands Jermain Defoe caught Manchester City defender Nicolas Otamendi full in the face with his elbow during the Black Cats 1-0 loss at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday.Defoe was backing into Otamendi as both got under a high ball but Gallagher said: He actually has a look. Hes well aware of where the player is and he makes no attempt to avoid that player. Thats the key issue.The Sunderland striker, however, escaped without a booking.

"Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said.Celtic assistant coach John Kennedy believes Celtic showed their mettle to earn a 2-1 victory over Motherwell at Fir Park. Motherwell goalkeeper Connor Ripley looked like he was going to frustrate the league leaders with a string of impressive saves in a first-half in which Celtic also missed a penalty from Leigh Griffiths. A round-up of all of Saturdays action from the Scottish Premiership. But Griffiths finally beat Ripley a minute before the break before he took his tally for the season to 37 with 15 minutes remaining at Fir Park after Scott McDonald had levelled for the home side. In spite of his heroics, Ripley was at fault for the winning goal, but the stopper denied Celtic a third goal on a couple of occasions after they had restored their lead.Kennedy felt Celtic should have been out of sight by half-time, but he praised the players for standing firm as Motherwell made a contest of the game after the break.With a Aberdeen losing 2-1 to Hearts on Friday, Celtic now reequire just seven points to clinch a fifth successive Scottish Premiership title with just five matches remaining.ddddddddddddIt was important that we took advantage of Aberdeen slipping up last night, Kennedy said..The first half performance was good, we had some good chances but we didnt quite capitalise and in the second half we had to dig very deep but at this time of the season it is about results, that is the most important thing.It gives us an extra cushion but take nothing for granted in this game.With five games to go and eight points clear I would like to think we could see the job through.

They deserved to win the game but we are very aggrieved that once again a decision has gone against us.I have watched it over and over and I know the linesman has only one look at it but for me it is onside and it should have stood. But we cant have any complaints. Also See: Griffiths secures Celtic win As it happened Celtic fixtures ' ' '
