Diego in a ’theft’ rap

- FROM SIMON MULLOCK

DIEGO MARADONA has accused England of “theft” after Gareth Southgate’s team meted out justice to Colombia’s hatchet men.

Argentina icon Maradona (above), whose Hand of God cheated the Three Lions in 1986, also said Harry Kane dived to win the penalty opener.

He said: “I apologise to all the Colombian people, I saw a monumental theft.

“It is the man who decides on the referee who is to blame.

“Pierluigi Collina is that man... and he is very bad.

“The penalty was not a foul. In fact, it was Kane’s fault.

“Kane used his arm to hook Carlos Sanchez and threw himself down.”
