5 footballers who love diving more than breakfast this season

Dele Alli’s incredible dive against Swansea. Magical.

#2 Alexis Sanchez

Come on, Sanchez, there was nothing there! (Arsenal vs PSG)

Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez may be one of the best forwards in all of Europe right now with his goals, his hunger to win and more but the Chilean is too often a believer in duping the referee to earn an immediate result.

His latest dive was against French Champions, Paris Saint-Germain, in the UEFA Champions League last month. Sanchez was through in the box, pulled the ball back and simulated enough to suggest to the referee that Grzegorz Krychowiak caught him while sliding to receive the ball.

Perhaps it was karma that Arsenal didn’t win that game. But given how the English media covered the incident, Sanchez will now know that referees will think twice before awarding him any sort of penalty inside the box.
