Palace defender Scott Dann blasted Niasse in the aftermath of Saturday's 2-2 draw.

"People were saying that I fell down easily," said the Senegalese forward.

"I don't know. I didn't see the video again. To get into the box, I tried to dribble the guy; he was coming into contact.

"When I felt the contact, I knew then he pushed me away.

"The contact was on my upper body but when I felt the contact I was in the box so that is it: that is all I have to do, go on the floor. It was because I was running so quick.

"I will be shocked [if I am charged with diving] because there is contact."
