So did Martin Olsson dive to win a penalty against Burnley?

Question

At the match between Blackburn and Burnley at the weekend, the Swede went down at Turf Moor and Blackburn was awarded a penalty - but did Olsson cheat the ref to win the award?

Answer 1

Yep, Olsson has admitted he dived. Talking to a Swedish sports newspaper, Olsson commented: "I saw that he (the goalkeeper Jensen) stuck his foot out, but I might have overacted a little. When the referee blew I thought he was going to give me a yellow card, but it's up to the referee in that situation."
