You scored a beautiful goal, but you didn’t need to dive all the time, Mourinho reportedly told the Nigerian. I did say it to him. That is my opinion.
“He made an incredible goal. It was such a spectacular goal that I almost applauded from my bench.
“He did the same in Rome, when he scored an incredible goal. He is a superb player in my opinion. However, I’ll reiterate that he is not required to dive.
