Jose Mourinho: "Honest" Gary Cahill did not dive

Jose Mourinho defends the "honest" Gary Cahill against claims that the Chelsea defender dived in the 2-0 win over Hull City.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has leapt to the defence of Gary Cahill following accusations that the defender dived to win a penalty in the 2-0 win over Hull City.

Goals in either half from Eden Hazard and Diego Costa helped the Blues to victory at Stamford Bridge this evening.

Afterwards, Tigers boss Steve Bruce hit out at the "shocking" Chris Foy for failing to penalise Cahill - who had earlier been booked - for going to ground under minimal contact in the second half.

"I don't make [anything of] it because I didn't see it on TV and I was very far away, but I had this question before, from your colleagues on TV and radio, and I don't believe Cahill dived," Mourinho told Sky Sports News.

"And if you tell me I am wrong because he dived, something happened. Or they blocked his run. Or they touched. Or he lost balance. But that big, honest guy, I don't believe he dived in the opposition's box."

Mourinho's side sit top of the Premier League table after continuing their 100% home record.
