Heated ... Durante was clearly displeased with Jeronimo's actions. Source: Sarah Reed / News Limited
Adelaide United's double-scorer Jeronimo Neumann has been branded a cheat by Wellington Phoenix captain Andrew Durante for diving in a bitter A-League fixture at Hindmarsh Stadium on Saturday.
The Phoenix were left fuming after defender Ben Sigmund was given a straight red card for bringing Jeronimo down as the last defender during the Reds' 3-1 win, but replays suggested the Argentine's reaction was significantly delayed.
Durante was incensed at the time, as he was when Cassio scored Adelaide's second goal after receiving a pass from a seemingly-offside Jeronimo, and the Wellington skipper didn't hold back during the post-game interview with Fox Sports.
"We got a few tough decisions against us," Durante said.
"I think the first one was offside from what I saw, the second one he's dived. He's a cheat.
"In my book, if he's dived, he's a cheat. I think the referees were shocking tonight.
"To end the game with a referee's decision like that ... I mean, that linesman on that far side did nothing to help this game. I thought it was extremely poor.
Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert was equally disappointed with the match officials, and while he said he wasn't aware of Durante's comments, he had a similar message.

"Let's have a look at the review on the dive - if the boy hasn't dived, then fine, we all move on, it happens from time to time," Herbert said.
"But if he has, then maybe there is a chance to make a bit of a statement here."
Adelaide coach John Kosmina was surprised at Durante's comment about Jeronimo.
"That is a bit unfortunate, not a nice to thing to say," Kosmina said.
Kosmina suggested referee Jared Gillett, who made headlines last season for awarding a stoppage time penalty for Brisbane Roar in the A-League grand final, was in best position to judge whether Jeronimo dived.
"The referees make decisions that you agree with sometimes and they make decisions that you don't," he said.
"Looking at the replay, it was a hard one to call.
"And he was in a better position than I was, and probably in a better position than the cameras, because he was right behind it."
