Tottenham players Pedro Porro and Richarlison were criticized for cheating by exaggerating contact during matches. Tottenham faced Chelsea and a Sky Sports commentator said some players go down easily even without serious contact, naming Porro as an example. Jamie Carragher said the number of players who dive when nothing is wrong is a joke in the Premier League. He also claimed Richarlison goes down without real contact. Carragher further criticized Marc Cucurella and Alexis Mac Allister for making the most of minor contact by diving. Tottenham lost 2-1 to Chelsea and sit 17th, needing a win in the final match to stay up.
"I mentioned this about Mac Allister at Liverpool a few weeks ago. And we've seen it a lot in this game with Porro, we've seen it with Cucurella. The number of cheats and players going down when there's nothing wrong with them is a joke in the Premier League. Just touches him in his face and he goes down, absolutely nothing wrong with him."
"The former Liverpool defender went on to claim that Tottenham striker Richarlison has attendance to go down without any real contact as well. His comments are unlikely to go down well with Tottenham fans, but there is no doubt that a number of players have been heavily criticised for their tendency to force officials into decisions by going to the ground at the slightest contact."
"Meanwhile, Tottenham were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea in the Premier League game, and they are now 17th in the league table. They need to win the final match of the season in order to stay up. It remains to be seen whether they can get their act together and produce a strong performance."
