Everton winger Shani Tarashaj angers Eintracht Frankfurt chiefs with dive

Everton winger Shani Tarashaj has sparked controversy in Germany.

The Swiss is playing on-loan with Eintracht Frankfurt and angered club chiefs for a dive in action against Hamburg.

Eintracht director Fredi Bobic snapped: "I do not stand for such a thing. Those who know me and coach (Niko) Kovac knows, we do not want to see it."

Tarashaj put his hand up after the 3-0 win, stating: "Next time, I will not put the ball so far forward so I can shoot directly...

"(The goalkeeper) he didn't touch me. It was a reflex."
