Former West Ham and England defender Matthew Upson says Premier League referees are right to penalise defenders grappling with opponents at set-pieces.

The weekend's action saw numerous penalties awarded as officials crack down on incidents off the ball.
"I look at all the incidents that have been punished, and I think rightly so", said Upson.

Former Aston Villa and Republic of Ireland captain Andy Townsend added that current behaviour in the penalty area before a set-piece is taken is "a scourge of the modern game".
