'There is NO embarrassment factor': Troy Deeney defends Mo Salah and Harry Kane after diving accusations as Watford striker insists Premier League stars will do 'whatever it takes to gain an advantage'

Troy Deeney has said that top players Mohamed Salah and Harry Kane will feel no embarrassment after being accused of diving as Premier League stars will do 'whatever it takes to gain an advantage'.

Liverpool winger Salah was accused of cheating after Liverpool's 2-1 victory over West Ham after going down inside the box following a challenge from West Ham's Arthur Masuaku. Manager Jurgen Klopp came to his defence after the Egyptian came under scrutiny for going down too easily.

Tottenham star Harry Kane has also received diving jibes after he won a penalty against Brighton and Hove Albion by ducking and allowing Adam Lallana to jump over him, committing a foul.
