Geordie legend Alan Shearer has accused Liverpool striker Sadio Mane of diving to win an injury-time penalty in their 2-1 win over Leicester City at Anfield on Saturday.

Mane went to ground inside the area under pressure from Marc Albrighton, with referee Chris Kavanagh pointing to the spot.

VAR upheld Kavanagh's original decision and James Milner converted from the spot to extend Liverpool's lead at the top of the table to eight points.

After the game an angry brawl unfolded between both sets of players, as Leicester vented their frustration at their late defeat and Shearer felt they were right to feel aggrieved.

"I don't think it's a penalty, I think it's a dive," said Shearer on Match of the Day.

"It's a contact sport. Mane takes a touch against Albrighton and then decides to go down."
