WARNOCK: SALAH DIVES LIKE TOM DALEY

- DOMINIC KING at Cardiff City Stadium

NEIL WARNOCK branded Mohamed Salah a diver after the forward won a disputed penalty as Liverpool moved back to the top of the table. Salah was brought down by Sean Morrison in the 80th minute of a game Liverpool won 2-0. The Cardiff defender wrapped his arms around the Egyptian but Salah’s fall seemed to be exaggerate­d. Warnock was incensed and likened Salah to Team GB star Tom Daley. ‘I thought it was a soft one,’ said Warnock, whose side remain in the bottom three. ‘We gave Salah an opportunit­y, didn’t we? Morrison’s got his arms round him. The end of it was a 9.9 Tom Daley job. I don’t think he could have got much higher off the diving board. ‘You’ll be saying Warnock is a moaning so-and-so again, but just after half-time, the tug on Morrison’s shirt should have been spotted. He’s been pulled from pillar to post and we’ve not had a penalty, so we’re not going to start getting them now. ‘Jurgen Klopp should do a job swap with me. Liverpool are doing so well, I could have a go and he comes down here and see how he gets on.’
