Nine times out of 10, Fernandes would have "won" a free-kick from diving like that, but the ref clearly took into account that Fernandes was trapped in the corner and looking to win a foul. I am happy for refs to make this judgement call. Players often tumble to signal to the ref that contact has been made but the ref is not obliged to give a foul, especially if the contact was not actually forceful enough to upend the player.

100%. It wasn’t a foul and it’s good to see refs not giving them. It’s risky behaviour from Fernandes to do it there.

There was one with their number 2 second half where Kudus dispossessed him and he went down squealing like a pig. Never a foul and ref ignored the theatrics correctly. The lad was up and about it no time.

Great to see refs being a bit firmer with that carry on.
