Jurgen Klopp Defends Mohamed Salah, Says Liverpool 'Don't Have Divers'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has defended forward Mohamed Salah and says the Reds "don't have divers" in their team.

The Egypt international has come in for criticism for winning penalties in consecutive matches against Arsenal and Newcastle United, but Klopp says both decisions were correct, according to Simon Hughes at the Independent.

"I haven't seen it back [the incident involving Sokratis] and I have no clue about what happened around it but the ref really was close to it. We don't have divers and that was not a dive.
