Rodgers rages at Suarez after ‘unacceptable’ diving admission

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez’s diving admission brought swift admonishment from manager Brendan Rodgers, who described the comments as “unacceptable”.

The Uruguay international confessed on Wednesday he had tried to win a penalty in October’s goalless draw with Stoke by going down in the area.

He was unsuccessful in his attempts — although he escaped punishment — and his actions brought stinging condemnation from Potters boss Tony Pulis at the time.
