Neil Warnock compares Mohamed Salah to diver Tom Daley

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock has likened Mohamed Salah to Olympic diver Tom Daley for the manner the forward earned Liverpool a penalty on Sunday.

Sean Morrison was penalised for grabbing Salah's shirt and James Milner converted the spot-kick to make it 2-0.

While Cardiff remain in the relegation zone, Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with the victory. 

Warnock on the penalty: "I thought it was a soft one. We gave him an opportunity. He's got his arms around him and everything.”

"I think the end of it was a 9.9 Tom Daley job. I don't think he could have got much higher off the diving board at the end of it. I am sure you will be saying Warnock's a moaning so-and-so again.”

"Just after half-time, the tug on Morrison's shirt, which should have been spotted.”

"Morrison has been pulled from post to post, and we haven't had one penalty. We are not going to start getting them now."
