Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew slammed the play-acting of Aston Villa star Ashley Young after defeat yesterday.
Young went down under a challenge from Newcastle captain Joey Barton and the resulting set-piece saw the England man swing the ball in for James Collins to glance in the only goal of the game after 24 minute.
Pardew said: "Young is the most fouled player in the division.
"We kept saying, you touch him and he goes over, and that was in Joey's mind.
"It was something we talked about. He hardly touched him and down he went again. That happens to be a fact.
"I didn't think it was a free-kick if that is what you are asking me.
"Joey is going to argue decisions and make his opinion felt if he thinks he's been wronged."
