Reds forward Diogo Jota featured during Liverpool’s match against Leicester City on the weekend.

During the second half of the Premier League clash at Anfield, Jota was bumped from behind.

The Portuguese international did not win a free-kick. Jota kept his feet when he was bumped.

After the incident occurred, Jota simulated to the referee that he will take a dive next time.

So often we see fouls given simply because a player goes to ground. With that being the case, Jota would have been better off taking a dive when he was bumped from behind.

The footage below aired on Sky Sports, but it was uploaded to Reddit by u/liverpewl.
