Simone Zaza with one of the worst dives you’ll ever see

Wow

Valencia forward Simone Zaza continues to add to his list of embarrassing moments after he feigned receiving an elbow by Sevilla’s Franco Vázquez on Saturday.

With Valencia leading 1-0, Zaza scampered after Vázquez and once it had become clear that he would not win the ball back, he tried to headbutt the midfielder’s elbow in an attempt to draw a booking from the referee.

It’s a feeble attempt to draw a foul and his latest gaffe moves next to his missed penalty against Germany as one of the most embarrassing moments of his career.

Valencia won the game 2-0 thanks to two goals from Rodrigo as Los Murciélagos moved just one point behind Real Madrid after winning five of their last six games in La Liga.
