"Mourinho was always ahead of the game in terms of trying to gain an advantage somewhere,” Carragher said on SkyBet‘s The Overlap Fan Debate.

“There’s one thing I do notice Arsenal doing more than anyone. I don’t know if the stats back me up, I think the goalkeeper goes down a lot more than other goalkeepers in tense situations.

“The rule is a goalkeeper can’t go off, so that’s definitely one that the coaching staff at Arsenal are more switched on about than anyone else. I see Raya go down in pressure situations.”

Sitting alongside Carragher, Paul Scholes queried: “Cheating, that’s called isn’t it, Jamie?”

Carragher responded: “It is, but you said it so you can have the headline not me.”
