Liverpool ace Sadio Mane is happy to laugh off diving accusations from rivals.

Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw in the Champions League by Napoli on Wednesday when the officials again prompting controversy with a number of calls.

Among them was a penalty claim turned away when Mane went to ground under a challenge from Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

The Senegalese has come under scrutiny - not least from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola - after winning a succession of spot kicks this season.

Yes, I think it was a penalty," said Mane, who then joked with the Liverpool Echo: "I was not diving like usual eh?!

Like I always said, I am not a kind of player who will always dive to steal something from the game. I could be lucky sometimes and get a penalty, but he didn't give it for me, and it wasn't a dive."
