Robertson defends Salah amid diving accusations

Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson defended Mohamed Salah, saying any accusations of diving aimed at the forward were "desperation".

Salah again came under fire for what some perceived to be going down too easily after being fouled for a penalty, which he converted, in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.

The Egypt star was similarly criticised following Liverpool's thrashing of Arsenal last month when the Reds were awarded two penalties against the Gunners.

Robertson backed his team-mate and said the constant questions surrounding Salah were unfair.

"Every time it happens, we go back, everyone looks at the video, and you go, 'Well, it's not a dive'," Robertson told UK newspapers.
