Dominic Calvert-Lewin told Jamie Carragher he 'dived' in Liverpool vs Everton derby
TWITTER
Everton snatched a 1-1 draw with a Wayne Rooney penalty after Dejan Lovren nudged over Calvert-Lewin in the area.
The decision split pundits, players and managers as they argued whether the spot-kick should have been given.
Carragher himself believes it was a penalty and slammed Lovren for his clumsy challenge.
But things appeared to take a twist today when Carragher saw Calvert-Lewin while shopping.
He posted a picture of the two of them on Twitter and wrote: "I’ve changed my mind! Just bumped into @CalvertLewin14 even he said he dived!!!!!!"
But just as Liverpool fans started to bombard him with messages, Carragher revealed it was only a joke.
He added: "He didn’t to be fair as I didn’t give him a chance to speak after telling him & Tom Davies they were jammy B******s!!!!!"

Jurgen Klopp yesterday claimed Liverpool were robbed of victory in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.
It was Rooney's first goal in six derby appearances and came after Mohamed Salah had fired the Reds ahead with a stunning strike for his 20th goal of the campaign.
But Klopp believes the penalty decision by referee Craig Pawson was wrong.
He said: "I don't think it was a penalty. Obviously, if you all think it is a penalty then all the fouls between Ashley Williams and Dominic Solanke should have been free-kicks.
"That is how it is. We have to take it. The last moment Calvert-Lewin makes a step, but Lovren doesn't push him or anything. It's just body contact. That happens in midfield and 60 or 70 times it is not a free-kick."
