Alan Smith felt referee Michael Oliver did not get the big decisions right in the big London derby at the Emirates.

Emirates co-commentator Alan Smith stopped by in the tunnel to reflect on Super Sunday's goalless draw between Arsenal and Chelsea - and put referee Michael Oliver in the spotlight.

The former Arsenal striker - speaking to Sky Sports reporter Patrick Davison as part of our latest 'tunnel talk' series - believes that Oscar should have been awarded a penalty after being clattered by David Ospina in the penalty area.

Smith believes Oliver is one of the Premier League's best officials - but he felt the man in the middle failed to get the big decisions right in north London.
