Arsenal boss Wenger: Did Pochettino apologise for Spurs diving?

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists diving should be driven out of the game.

Ahead of Saturday's derby at Tottenham, Wenger made reference to their manager Mauricio Pochettino's comments on tricking opponents.

He said: “I am convinced he wanted to see tricking your opponent is to be clever. Was it an apology for diving? I'm not sure.

“In my case, no. We want to get diving out of the game.

“It used to be the foreigners but I must say the English players have learnt very quickly and are maybe the masters now."
