Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier slammed the TV commentators after Wayne Rooney's apparent dive for Manchester United in last night's FA Cup win over Preston.

United were 2-1 up at the stage, and Rooney's strike from the spot put the game behind the hosts.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown, who was commentating on the game, said: "The goalkeeper has come from a long way back and is nowhere near it.

"Once he goes down Phil Dowd has no choice but to give that."

But Le Tissier tweeted:

Shocking commentating! Its a dive call it dont justify it! — Matt Le Tissier (@mattletiss7) February 16, 2015

It was entirely feasible to have stayed on his feet AND.avoid the poor challenge from keeper. He chose to dive and conned the ref — Matt Le Tissier (@mattletiss7) February 16, 2015
