Brendan Rodgers brands Luis Suarez's diving admission as 'unacceptable'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has attacked Luis Suarez for admitting he dived to try to win a penalty against Stoke.

The Uruguayan confessed to cheating in the match at Anfield on October 7, but Rodgers has branded his admission  as "unacceptable".

He said: ""I think it is wrong. It is unacceptable. I have spoken to Luis and it will be dealt with internally.

"[Diving] is not something we advocate. Our ethics are correct."

Suarez made the admission to Fox Sports in Argentina, saying: "Football is like that. Sometimes you do things on the field that later you think 'why the hell did I do that?'

"I was accused of falling inside the box in a match, and it's true I did it that time, because we were drawing against Stoke at home and we needed anything to win it.

"But after that everybody jumped out to talk - the Stoke coach, and the Everton coach... I understood that the name Suarez sells (papers)."
