Dudek was furious after Bent scored from the spot at The Valley
|
Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek says Charlton striker Darren Bent admitted diving after winning a penalty during their Premiership game on Wednesday.
The penalty was converted for Charlton's first goal in the London side's 2-0 win at The Valley.
"Bent was, I think, one yard ahead of me. He dived, you know," said Dudek.
"When he was on the floor he was saying 'sorry, I dived, I did dive'. He was scared of getting booked. But when the ref said 'penalty' he said nothing."
Dudek added: "I said 'tell him. Tell him you dived'. The referee insisted it was a penalty.
"He said I had touched him. How could I have touched him when he was one yard in front of me?
"Maybe it's time for video technology if it will stop people diving.
"If you have a situation where teams miss out on European football it could cost them millions of pounds, and all because of an incorrect decision."
