7. Yaya Toure – Manchester City

Minutes per simulation booking in Premier League: 2360

The powerhouse midfielder isn’t one you’d expect to go to ground with ease, but the Ivorian has been booked twice in the past two seasons for diving.

Take a look at this shocker against Southampton!

6. Ross Barkley – Everton

Minutes per simulation booking in Premier League: 1828

The Toffees ace has been mooted as a future England star, yet for all the plaudits his performances reap, the midfielder is prone to a slightly theatrical fall.

What about this embarrassing fall against West Ham United?

5. Ashley Young – Manchester United

Minutes per simulation booking in Premier League: 1152

The Red Devils winger became renowned for his theatrical diving after moving to Old Trafford, with some of his worst coming against Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers.

4. Danny Ings – Burnley

Minutes per simulation booking in Premier League: 1070.5

The Clarets forward has been in top form this season with nine goals, but the 22-year is prone to tumble to the ground far too easily, and has picked up two yellow cards for diving so far in the campaign.

3. Diego Costa – Chelsea

Minutes per simulation booking in Premier League: 890.5

The Blues striker was booked earlier in the season for this terrible dive against Hull City, with such moments making the former Atletico hit-man an even more unpopular man in the Premier League.

2. Emanuele Giaccherini – Sunderland

The midfielder has barely featured for the Black Cats since making the move in July 2013, yet when given the chance on the pitch, he is prone to a dramatic tumble.

1. Adnan Januzaj – Manchester United

Minutes per simulation booking in Premier League: 801

A winger with bags of potential, but one who has fast gained a name for a theatrical dive, and tops the list over the last two seasons.

The 20-year-old has more bookings for simulation in his career so far, than he does professional goals – 4!

His latest dive – and booking – came in Monday night’s FA Cup sixth-round clash against Arsenal…
