Kos: Suarez is a diver and a cheat

BATTLE ... Luis Suarez and Laurent Koscielny get to grips with each other last year

LUIS SUAREZ was under attack again last night after being branded “a cheat” by Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny.

The French defender insists the Liverpool striker - voted the Premier League's worst diver by Sun readers - goes down incredibly easy.

Koscielny said: “He is a cheat. He’s annoying to play. He grabs the shirt, gives some small kicks.

“You always want to give some more but you have to be careful not to get a red card.

“It’s a player who really likes to fall as soon as you touch him.”

Suarez has left a trail of furious players and managers in his wake.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis called him “an embarrassment” and demanded he be banned after appearing to dive during the teams’ 0-0 clash on October 7.

And he was booked for diving during Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Sunderland last month.

But Anfield chief Brendan Rodgers said: “Luis hasn’t dived and yet he hasn’t got penalties and then he was booked for diving, while players have dived against us and got penalties for nothing.”

Koscielny added: “On September 2 against Liverpool, we were in the penalty area, we jostled with each other a little, he fell.

“He started talking to me in English, saying it was a penalty. I replied instantly but in French.”
