Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas should have been allowed to retake his spurned penalty in Saturday's farewell performance against Nottingham Forest.
The former Spain midfielder, who wore the captain's armband for the game, had a penalty saved in the first half and was substituted with six minutes remaining.
He waved to Chelsea's supporters, patted the badge on his jersey, was hugged by David Luiz and Eden Hazard, and appeared on the verge of tears as he walked off the field.
Fabregas was on Monday flying to Monaco to join up with former Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry, who manages the struggling Ligue 1 side. The proposed transfer will bring to an end a three-and-a-half-year Chelsea career, during which Fabregas won the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.
But the 31-year-old should have been given a second chance to crown his time at Stamford Bridge with a goal in what will likely be his final appearance.
Fabregas's stuttering penalty run-up was poor, but players from both teams entered the area as it was struck before Luke Steele saved, diving low to his right.
Both Fabregas and Steele were joined by 10 players inside the 12-yard box as the ball was hit, and referee Andy Madley should have ordered a retake.
