Bale accused of diving
Blackburn defender Michel Salgado has tipped Gareth Bale for a bright future but has also accused the Tottenham youngster of diving during the clash at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Bale went over twice in the second half of Spurs' 3-1 win - firstly when Salgado challenged him in the penalty area and then after Morten Gamst Pedersen's tackle - but referee Howard Webb waved play on both times and did not book the 20-year-old.
"They were not penalties," said Salgado. "There was contact but he was diving, in my opinion. The referee was really close to the play and he did the right thing.
"The second one was a dive, too. It's part of the job of the referee."
