Crystal Palace's Kagisho Dikgacoi has become the latest name in football to back calls for retrospective action against divers.

The 28-year-old was at the centre of two incidents involving Ashley Young during the Eagles' 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Young was booked for diving over Dikgacoi's leg in the box before eventually winning a penalty from another challenge from the Palace player, who was sent off as a result.

"I agree that there should be a chance to take some action [afterwards]," The Independent quotes Dikgacoi as saying. "This has created a bad vibe after the game because it is making things difficult for the referee.

"I think [Jon Moss] knew that if he had said Young dived, then it would have meant a second yellow card and he would have been sent off. It was a hard position for him to be put in.

"I saw [Young] afterwards but I wasn't going to go and say anything. He was going down too easily during the game and I think everyone knew it."

United manager David Moyes and defender Rio Ferdinand have also spoken out against diving following the controversy surrounding Young.
