Ezgjan Alioski is accused of diving for Leeds United last night.
Leeds United’s Ezgjan Alioski took a bit of a tumble in last night’s 1-0 win over Reading and some neutral fans aren’t happy about it.
The Leeds attacker was booked for simulation by referee Mike Dean after going to ground under a challenge from Tiago Ilori.
Television replays show that the Reading defender made no contact with Alioski, prompting some neutral fans on Twitter to criticise the Macedonia international.
Here’s how they reacted:
Alioski, a £3.2 million signing from Lugano [Football League Paper], was hauled off at half time by head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
And some fans of the Elland Road will be hoping that the 26-year-old is given a bit more time on the bench; not strictly because of the perceived dive, but because he seems to be in something of a downward spiral with regards to his form.
On his day, Alioski is as talented as anybody in a Leeds shirt, but he hasn’t scored since September, and hasn’t set one up since October 6.
He is really struggling for form at the moment and with the Whites chasing Premier League promotion, Bielsa can ill afford any passengers.
