Premier League! This West Ham Star Man Has Been Charged By The English FA For Diving

West Ham playmaker Manuel Lanzini has been charged by the Football Association (FA) for diving during Saturday’s Premier League win at Stoke.

The Argentine fell to the ground as he was challenged by defender Erik Pieters and the Hammers were awarded a penalty, which put them 1-0 up in a 3-0 victory.

Lanzini has until 18:00 GMT on Tuesday, 19 December to respond to the charge.

“The referee was 10 yards from the ball with nothing blocking his vision,” said West Ham manager David Moyes.

“It is clear to see the defender makes an attempt to go for the ball and doesn’t get it.

“From my point of view, they are going against the referee, whoever the panel were.”
