Wolverhampton Wanderers' captain Connor Coady has recalled the funny story about Mohamed Salah when they played Liverpool at Anfield a few month ago.
Wolves centre-back dived, as his side were awarded a penalty, but VAR overturned it after it became very apparent there was zero contact on his leg.
“Don’t mention that game! I got some serious stick for that!” Coady told the
Greatest Game podcast.
“As the ball comes in, you know when you’re thinking someone is going to touch you, as I’m thinking that he [Mane] moved his foot dead quick.
“So I go down and I was hoping that the referee wouldn’t blow his whistle.
“The next minute, the whistle blows and I just put my head dead into the turf.
“So I’m thinking they’re obviously going to see it on VAR. I’m walking back and all the Liverpool players are giving me stick!
“I remember as I’m walking back Salah, of all people, said to me ‘you can’t do that, my friend’.”
