Suarez appeared to trip up as a result of his momentum against Stoke, but has nonetheless been accused of diving, most prominently by Boyce.

"This guy (Boyce), I've no idea who he is," said Suarez in an interview on Argentine radio quoted in The Sun.

"I don't know why he has been talking about me. He certainly can't be well-known and he wants to get publicity.

"Let him carry on talking. My job is to play football and to try to do so in the best way possible.

"What he has said does not affect me. I am not interested in what he has to say.

"It's been important to have the support of the Uruguayan FA and the people."
