Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has blasted Luis Suarez after the Uruguayan admitted diving against Stoke City.

The Reds were held to a draw at home to Stoke back in early October and Suarez has admitted in an interview that he dived in the match in an effort to win a penalty.

Now Rodgers has come out and said Suarez's admission of diving is unacceptable and the club will deal with him internally, which normally means a club fine.

"[Diving] is not something we advocate. Our ethics are correct," he added.

Suarez admitted "falling" in a bid to win a penalty, telling Fox Sports Argentina: "Football is like that. Sometimes you do things on the field that later you think 'why the hell did I do that?'

"I was accused of falling inside the box in a match, and it's true I did it that time, because we were drawing against Stoke at home and we needed anything to win it.

"But after that everybody jumped out to talk - the Stoke coach, and the Everton coach... I understood that the name Suarez sells (papers)."
