(Reuters) - Southampton's Victor Wanyama has been advised by manager Ronald Koeman to stop diving into tackles after the midfielder picked up his third red card of the season and a five-match suspension.

Wanyama was sent off for a challenge on West Ham United's Dimitri Payet on Saturday and will only return on March 19, but Koeman said the team could cope without him.
