Colombia coach Jose Pekerman upset at England players

Colombia manager Jose Pekerman has expressed his anger at England’s players, accusing them of diving in their World Cup last-16 clash.

Gareth Southgate’s side progressed to the quarter-finals after winning a penalty shootout in Moscow on Tuesday evening, but looked set win 1-0 in normal time after Harry Kane won a second-half penalty which was bitterly disputed by the Colombia players.

Yerry Mina took the game to extra-time with an injury-time equaliser, but there were several flashpoints throughout the game including a first-half altercation between Jordan Henderson and Wilmar Barrios which saw the England player go down claiming a headbutt.
