Agent defends harried Kewell against ‘diver’ claim

HARRY KEWELL’S agent has hit back at allegations the Liverpool star is a diver.

Kewell reportedly told Yeovil defender Hugo Rodrigues he dived to win a penalty which Danny Murphy converted in Liverpool's 2-0 FA Cup third-round victory at Huish Park on Sunday.

Portuguese centre-back Rodrigues said he confronted Kewell after the tie and angrily told the Australia international there was no contact, to which he claims the 25-year-old replied: "Yeah, I know you didn't, but this is football man. I had to dive."
