Tony Pulis to speak to Stephane Sessegnon about diving incident

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis will speak to Stephane Sessegnon, after the player was booked for diving last weekend.

West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has said that he will have a word with striker Stephane Sessegnon, after the player was booked for diving against Southampton on Saturday.

Sessegnon went to ground inside the penalty area as he tried to get away from Nathaniel Clyne, but he seems to have annoyed his manager, who said that he won't tolerate his players diving.

Pulis told reporters: "I've looked at it but I'll speak to Sess first, before I speak to anybody else. It's not a delicate one to talk about at all. My stance is that it should not be in the game.

"At the last club I was at [Crystal Palace] I made sure that didn't happen. I don't expect players to dive."

West Brom travel to face Aston Villa tonight.
