Crystal Palace defender Kagisho Dikgacoi has become the latest player to ask for strict action against divers.

  • Arsenal to hijack Chelsea deal for English winger?
  • Arsenal & Chelsea battling to sign Ajax defender

  • The 28-year-old was sent-off during the Eagles’ 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.



    During the match, Ashley Young had clearly faked a foul in the penalty box which led to the sending of Dikgacoi.



    Dikgacoi told The Independent: “I agree that there should be a chance to take some action [afterwards.



    "This has created a bad vibe after the game because it is making things difficult for the referee.



    "I think [Jon Moss] knew that if he had said Young dived then it would have meant a second yellow card and he would have been sent off. It was a hard position for him to be put in.



    "I saw [Young] afterwards but I wasn't going to go and say anything. He was going down too easily during the game and I think everyone knew it."
