He did what a majority of players do to get freekicks and penalties. If the player is coming in, and you get in between them and the ball, it is they who has to make sure they don't make contact with you. I'm a defender, and that is basic 101.

So am I.

He tried to con the ref and got caught out. It was a ballsy decision by the ref. He's clever at winning penalties, that's not calling him someone who dives week in week out but he knew what he was trying to do there. If he would have stayed on his feet a bit longer he probably would have been fouled but instead he tried to be clever and win a pen.

It's gonna be one of those decisions were people are gonna be able to argue both sides of it being a dive and a freekick to West Ham, a coming together or a possible pen for Leicester.

In fairness, of all Leicester's remaining games, at home to Swansea is the one that they might possibly be able to win even without Vardy.

Bouncing back from this defeat will be the big ask though.

My problem is that everyone is saying OH YEAH DEFINITE DIVE LOL CUNT, when it is much more shades of gray than that. I didn't even think it was a pen, it just wasn't a dive personally
