Suarez: I have dived for Liverpool

Luis Suarez has admitted he has dived to gain an advantage for Liverpool but claims there is a conspiracy against South American players who are given a rougher ride in the Premier League than their English counterparts.

The Liverpool forward made the astonishing admission in an interview with Argentinian Fox Sports, and he went on to reveal that he even asks himself, “What have I done?” when confronted with yet another controversy on the pitch. Suarez, who has scored 15 goals for Liverpool this season, made direct reference to an incident when he threw himself to the ground in a 1-1 draw with Stoke last October.

After the game, Stoke coach Tony Pulis called the dive “an embarrassment” and demanded that Suarez be punished retrospectively.
