Former Liverpool captain Graeme Souness publicly criticises Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka, calling him a “cheat” and accusing him of diving. The comments come during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s Football Uncensored, where Souness says Saka “dives all over” and simulates fouls to win free-kicks.
Souness points to an incident during Arsenal’s win over Nottingham Forest in which Neco Williams receives a caution after bringing down an opponent, despite what Souness describes as minimal contact. He argues that Saka’s behaviour contributes to referees making incorrect calls, and he also suggests Arsenal players in the area pressure officials during such moments.
Across the outlets, the core focus is the same: Souness’s criticism and his use of the term “cheat” to describe alleged simulation. While the reports differ mainly in wording and emphasis, they all attribute the attack to Souness and link it to the broader debate about diving and VAR in the Premier League.
