Gareth Bale denies diving claims

Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale has insisted that he did not dive during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Liverpool.

The Welshman was shown a yellow card by referee Phil Dowd at White Hart Lane after he went down under the challenge of Daniel Agger.

"I thought I got clipped a little bit," Bale told Sky Sports News.

"Sometimes it happens. You have just got to get on with it."

Bale scored one goal and set up another as fifth-placed Spurs made it two wins from two in the Premier League.
