Diogo Jota's alleged dive during Liverpool's win over Newcastle United caused a stir on social media

Former Arsenal star Ian Wright criticized the controversial moment on X (formerly Twitter)

Many users believed that Jota delayed his fall after contact with Martin Dubravka

During Liverpool's 42 victory over Newcastle United, there was controversy surrounding Portuguese international Diogo Jota. The player appeared to have delayed his fall after contact with Martin Dubravka, causing many X users to accuse him of diving.

Former Arsenal star and commentator Ian Wright took to social media platform X to express his disbelief at the incident. He suggested that he had "seen it all" following the controversial moment.

The suggestion that Jota would rather secure a penalty than score into an empty net has left many pundits questioning the logic behind such claims. It seems implausible for an outandout goalscorer like Jota to purposefully throw away a clear opportunity.

Despite being firm admirers of Wright and his commentary, football fans are struggling to understand how such accusations could be made against a talented player like Diogo Jota.

In conclusion, while controversies in football are not uncommon, it is important for pundits and fans alike to consider all aspects before making allegations against players based on isolated incidents.
