exactly how it went down he say lovren bumbling towards him and thought he was in for a wolloping. It was ott malicous, he was just anticipating contact.
I still think he should be carded bc that's the riskes you take as a player who is always looking to go down at every opprotunity.

One note I will say about diving.
I'm not or anywhere near a professional player by any standards, but I have played with very experienced players on occasion, some retired pros. Under pressure to score a goal, even great players get off balance and fall. I don't believe losings ones footing or getting off balance while trying to shoot constitutes a dive. Alli's dive did not warrant a yellow imo. In fact, Kane took more of a dive when he rounded the goalkeeper as he was deliberately exploiting the good chance of collision with Karius.

Final note.
I think Dele's "diving" is seriously blown out of proportion. He has a problem controlling his tackles, attitude and challlenges though. I love the aggression but I don't like any footballer, even Spurs, putting the potential end of a career for another. That being said, oh did I damn love the kick out it at Sanchez on Wednesday. Harmless but so effective in riling up opponents.
As for today vs Liverpool, I thought Dele was actually outstanding. For some reason it went under the radar of Jan being a beast etc but he really did cause so many problems for Liverpool.

He's starting to put together really good well-rounded performances. He's not relying on only goal scoring to impact a match, which is a sign of him developing more as a footballer.
