Chelsea keeper Cech: Liverpool's Suarez no cheat

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech insists Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is no diver. Cech insists Suarez deserves credit for staying on his feet when they collided late on in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "We should give Suarez credit because when we had a one- versus-one, he didn't try to cheat and jump or dive, and that was a fair thing for him to do.

"We all know how dangerous he is in the box. He's a natural goalscorer, always in the right place to tap the ball in. It's a gift not everyone has.

"He is on fire this season in terms of scoring goals and, unfortunately, he had the chance to keep that run going on Sunday."
