Liverpool striker David Ngog says he'll survive his dive storm. Ngog caused outrage when he clearly cheated to win the penalty which earned the Reds a 2-2 draw with Birmingham on Monday.

But he told The Sun: "You learn more about yourself in the bad times than the good.

"If you can come through difficulties in life, it will make you stronger in the future.

"I remember at my old club PSG, we were facing relegation, there were a lot of outside distractions.

"It meant I learnt a lot about being a footballer and dealing with pressure.

"I am not 21 until next April so I have plenty of time to learn more and I couldn't be learning from a better boss than Rafa Benitez or a better striker than Fernando Torres."
