Former Everton boss Sam Allardyce felt Mohamed Salah dived to win Liverpool's penalty for their win at Crystal Palace.

Allardyce has claimed Mohamed Salah decided to go down for a penalty against Crystal Palace when he could have stayed on his feet.

"I'm not having it but it's like anything else," said Allardyce. "You can buy a penalty if you feel a contact.

"But for me he could have easily stayed on his feet. But he's felt the contact and thought: 'Well, instead of staying up, I'm not scoring here so I'll go down.'"

Allardyce added: "There's not enough contact to make him fall over. He falls over but it's still a penalty because he makes contact and the referee's given it. So it's a penalty."
