The Twitter police are far from happy with Philippe Coutinho after what is being described as the “worst dive ever” during Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur tonight.
The Brazilian playmaker is a wonderful footballer, but soiled himself with an awful piece of simulation which got him booked midway through the first half of the high-press exhibition at Anfield.
However, Coutinho’s evening is proof that cheaters do sometimes prosper, because he has since scored to give Jurgen Klopp’s Reds a 1-0 lead, and land a blow on Tottenham’s Premier League title chances.
