Mo Salah accused of diving AGAIN... is this the proof Liverpool star CHEATED?
MOHAMED SALAH was again accused of diving, this time during Liverpool’s match with Crystal Palace.
Salah SLAMMED by pundits for 'pathetic' play against Palace
The Egyptian has been put under the spotlight in recent weeks after winning penalties against Newcastle and Brighton.
He converted a spot kick at the Amex Stadium last weekend after being chopped down by Pascal Gross.
Brighton fans were furious and felt like the Egyptian had conned them and the referee.
This resulted in him being booed every time he touched the ball for the remainder of the game.
Salah also went to the floor theatrically after contact from Paul Dummett in the win over Newcastle.
Now the 26-year-old has been questioned again, after he went down under the contact of Mamadou Sakho.
The forward was backing into the French defender when he hit the deck.
Referee Jon Moss though was not interested and even had a word with the agitated star.
Richard Keys and Andy Gray spent some time criticising Salah last week after the win at Brighton for his supposed simulation.
He said: “I think he’s getting into the habit of making the most of challenges.
“There was a tug on his shirt, in fairness, but enough to take him down in the manner that he collapsed? I don’t know.”
Co-host Gray agreed, saying: “I think in any big game now, certain coaches might just remind officials that he is going to ground… easily. But there was a tug on his shirt.”
And Keys took aim again at Salah on Twitter this afternoon after the latest incident at Anfield.
He tweeted: “Oh no Mo. Please. Not again. Jon Moss wasn’t conned this time - but cut it out.”
Brighton manager Chris Hughton explained he had “no complaints” over the decision to award Salah a penalty last week.
“I feel for Pascal [Gross] because Mo Salah is probably the most dangerous player once he gets in those positions, one-v-one,” he said.
“It was difficult for Pascal but there were no complaints.”

Garth Crooks was not holding back either and launched an attack on last year’s PFA Player of the Year.
“It’s pathetic. By the way, why doesn’t Klopp say ‘just play the game,’” he said.
“People are going to tackle you in the box but don’t try and kid everybody because what you’re doing is just messing with your reputation and your credibility.
“Very soon, not just the professionals are going to say it’s cheating but the supporters too.”
