That's according to former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg.In the first half of Saturday's 3-2 defeat in London, Liverpool star Cody Gakpo went down under a challenge from Nathan Collins. "There's a couple of things a referee is going to look at."First, is the defender's leg planted before any contact.

If you watch a school child fall in the playground, they automatically put out their arms out to protect themselves."Watch Gakpo's reaction - his hands are in the air, and that tells me he's looking for the decision. There's huge pressure, it's one of the biggest sides in the country.

Video assistant referee Chris Kavanagh checked Hooper's call and agreed no penalty.Gakpo's fall, Clattenburg argued, had the 'tell-tale signs' of a dive, as he explained: "If you fall, your natural reaction is to put your arms out to protect yourself. That's a telltale sign."Another penalty decision went against Liverpool in the second half - this time from a different referee.
