Premiership: Bassett pleads for Spurs' Taricco

Dave Bassett has urged the Football Association not to take action against Mauricio Taricco after he branded the Tottenham defender a ‘‘diver’’ and a ‘‘cheat’’ on Saturday.

Leicester Boss Bassett was furious with Taricco following his side’s 2-1 defeat at White Hart Lane, and he accused the Argentine of getting Andrew Impey booked seven minutes from the end of the game.
