Ex-Premier League Referee Mark Clattenburg Hits Out at Mohamed Salah's Diving Antics

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has criticised Liverpool's Mohamed Salah following the striker's unsuccesful attempt to deceive referee Jonathan Moss into awarding Liverpool a penalty in the 4-3 win over Crystal Palace.

The Egypt international has come under the spotlight in recent outings with his theatrical tumbles - which hasn't gone unnoticed by Clattenburg who has questioned Salah's integrity after falling with 'no contact' from former Red Mamadou Sakho.

"Mo Salah went down with no contact from Mamadou Sakho," Clattenburg wrote in the Daily Mail.

Referee Clattenburg is one of the world's most respected officials and has officiated some of the world's top games, including the 2016 Champions League final and the UEFA Euro 2016 final.
