Sean Dyche has tagged the Football Association’s recently-introduced recent rule on diving “very weak” and has suggested there is an apathy to kicking it out of football. Dyche’s Burnley was pissed last weekend when Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva won a penalty from a challenge with Clarets goalkeeper Nick Pope that set City on their way to a 3-0 victory. Although there was contact from Pope on Silva’s foot, Dyche felt the Portuguese forward made the most of it by theatrically falling to the Etihad Stadium floor.

Even after a Wednesday night’s disappointing DFB Pokal exit, Ralph Hasenhuttl was visibly in a very good mood on Friday. “I think the game was so much fun that we’re really looking forward to the next match,” said the RB Leipzig coach, smiling.
