It is different, can was not challenging for the ball, nobody around.
Sure, but the point you made is that a Liverpool player should not be raising feet in the air. Can did just that.
With any scissor kick / overhead kick, there is always a risk that the player makes contact with another player whether on the up, or on the way down. But, its a risk they take because they want to play the ball - in a goal scoring / attacking opportunity.
As Stuey points out, City goalkeeper came at it like a train, and it was a case of who got there first. Mane was slower than he anticipated, so like any challenge, late for the ball = foul. But, not the red that was given.
The "both feet off the ground" argument is not valid either, because one of those feet was required for the jump towards the airborne ball. It was not like he went in with both feet.
