I'll tell Isak to dive for a penalty next time: Iraola

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola says he will tell Alexander Isak to start diving to the ground in an effort to earn penalties after the Sweden striker failed to go down when clearly having his jersey pulled in the 0-1 loss to Arsenal in the English Premier League.
“That’s the problem we have with the game — because he doesn’t dive and go to the floor.  If he goes to the floor, they call the penalty, 100 per cent.  Should it be like this? No. But it is what it is. Next time, I will definitely tell Isak to do that,” said an annoyed Iraola, whose criticism was directed more towards inconsistent refereeing in such situations, rather than his star striker.
