Stoke City defender Erik Pieters denies he's a diver.

Pieters has denied any suggestion he is a diver after being accused of going down too easily in an off-the-ball incident with Fulham's Pajtim Kasami.

"It was a red card," Pieters protested to The Sentinel, "because he hit me in the face.

"There was contact, no question for me, and I am not going down on the ground for nothing."
