Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has slammed Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel for his theatrics on Wednesday night.

Crouch was sent-off for his lunge on the Nigerian, but was still fuming yesterday over the midfielder's antics.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "What I'm thinking is if you go in on Frank Lampard or John Terry would they roll around like Obi Mikel did? I don't think they would have done.

"Would someone like Carra have gone down like that? I think it's safe to say that he wouldn't.

"Foreign players have brought a lot to our game but that's something you don't want to see. I didn't catch him but he's gone down like he's been shot."
