5 of the worst dives this season

Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Why do players continue to dive?

#1 Dele Alli (Tottenham)

AFC Bournemouth v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
Alli needs to stop diving!

Dele Alli's rise to stardom in such a short period of time certainly deserves praise but in the process, he has also earned himself an unwanted reputation of going down too easily.

In the FA Cup 5th round this season, Spurs were drawn away to Rochdale and the Lilywhites found the going tough against the League-One side. As the scoreline read 1-1 in the 87th minute, Lamela's deflected shot found Alli inside the box who took a touch and went down rather theatrically.

The referee awarded a penalty and Kane converted it. However Rochdale would go on to score a 93rd minute equaliser to earn themselves a replay.
