According to Danny Collins, Damien Duff believes Steven Taylor dived to earn Newcastle United Football Club a penalty-kick on Sunday.

Taylor took a tumble during the 1-1 draw against Sunderland to earn the Magpies a draw, but his team-mate Duff believes he dived to con referee Howard Webb into awarding the kick.

"It's a terrible decision to be honest. Steed Malbranque sort of stumbled over himself Stevie has gone on another yard and then fallen over," said Black Cats ace Collins.

"Duff got booked for diving and he said to me, 'It was a worse dive than mine'. He actually said that to me. Perhaps the fact it was a few minutes after the Duff incident swayed him a little bit.

"The referee gave one or two things that were a bit soft in the second half. The linesman is on that side and that is where he needs to help the ref out.

"He didn't actually flag. I think he has radioed it into the ref and said it's a pen. I said to the linesman afterwards, 'How come you never flagged?' and he said he radioed it to the ref.

"I accepted it at the time because there's a lot of bodies there and I couldn't really see it. But I have since seen it on TV."
