Liverpool fans react as Raheem Sterling gets away with ‘dive’ against Villa

Raheem Sterling has been labeled a cheat by many Liverpool fans after a ‘dive’ against Aston Villa.

Jack Grealish was booked in the incident, with Sterling getting off with no punishment for the supposed dive.

Several Liverpool fans were quick to make jibes at Sterling, with many believing the Manchester City player cheated.

It does seem strange that Sterling has avoided all punishment for what looks like a dive there.

Even stranger that Grealish picked up a booking.

The referee surely has to be looking at that again, but then again VAR doesn’t allow for it to be checked.
