Glen Johnson believes that Antonio Valencia dived to win a penalty against him for Manchester United in Liverpool's 2-1 defeat on Sunday.

Liverpool defender Glen Johnson is adamant that Antonio Valencia should be considered a cheat for the way in which he won a penalty for Manchester United last weekend.

Johnson believes that he did not touch Valencia in the incident, which led Mark Halsey to give a spot kick, duly converted by Robin van Persie to give United all three points at Anfield.

The England international told the Daily Star: "I watched it 50 times after the game, not that I needed to.

"It wasn't a penalty. I didn't touch him. I collided with Pepe (Reina) and I didn't touch Valencia at all.

"It's cheating and that's what people call it. Reputations go in front of people at times and because Valencia is not someone who is known as a diver, he gets the decision.

"To have it taken away like that, you can't really explain it. You just hope people don't do it."

Liverpool are without a win in the Premier League under Brendan Rodgers this season and have suffered three defeats in their opening five matches.
