Crystal Palace defender Kagisho Dikgacoi insists that strict action should be taken against divers

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

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."
