Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been called out for diving by Chris Sutton on BBC Radio Five Live.

Calvert-Lewin went down cheaply when challenged by Pablo Fornals to try and earn his side a penalty against West Ham United, but his attempts failed.

And Sutton feels that the Everton man should be looking to stay on his feet more often in future.

“They will be booing Calvert-Lewin if he carries on diving,” Sutton said.

“Come on, you’re better than that Dom. Just stop it. You’re a great goalscorer, stop simulating.”

The Toffees’ game against David Moyes’s side did not go according to plan, as they struggled to break West Ham down.

In the end, Everton slumped to a 1-0 defeat – with Thomas Soucek scoring a late winner for the visitors.

Calvert-Lewin has failed to score in any of his last five Premier League appearances, after making a blistering goalscoring start to the campaign.
