Steven Gerrard slams Phil Neville for diving

Steven Gerrard has declared that Everton captain Phil Neville let his manager down with his conduct in Sunday's Merseyside derby.

Neville was booked during the 2-2 draw for simulation after falling to the ground before Daniel Agger had an opportunity to make a tackle.

Gerrard has angrily stated that Toffees boss David Moyes should look closer to home after he criticised Luis Suarez for diving before the match.

The Reds skipper told The Sun: "Neville badly let his manager down.

"Moyes did every paper, radio station and TV channel talking about Suarez. Then his captain, who is meant to set an example, blatantly dives."

Neville admitted in his post-match interview that Moyes had given him a rollicking in the half-time interval for his actions.
