BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - Burnley manager Sean Dyche hit out at diving after an incident in Saturday's goalless Premier League draw when Huddersfield Town's Dutch winger Rajiv van La Parra blatantly threw himself to the floor in search of a penalty.

The dive, with no contact from any defender, was spotted by referee Christopher Kavanagh who booked Van La Parra and Dyche said the player's behaviour was "unacceptable".
