Dive lands Didier in trouble

Last updated : 16 October 2006 By SpursMAD

After an indifferent start to life in the Premiership, Ivory Coast midfielder Didier Zokora has been in impressive form in recent performances.

However, the summer signing from St. Etienne became embroiled in a storm over the penalty decision that contributed towards Tottenham taking maximum points at White Hart Lane on October 1.

Zokora said: "I knew it would take time for me to adapt to Premiership life.”

"I have spoken with both Martin and Damien about what happened against Portsmouth.”

"I was amazed at the amount of attention the incident got in the press and I realised that everything Premiership footballers do is under the spotlight.

"But wherever I have played in my career I have always given everything for my team.”
