Sorry Walton but it wasn’t a foul and he certainly didn’t pull him back , it was the slightest smallest of touches on his arm and it’s not the first time Mo has dived as he was warned by Klopp to stop it
See I disagree on this occasion mate. It is a foul soon as he puts a hand on him and tries to pull him back.
That’s not the same as holding your arm out a bit to help shield the ball, a shoulder charge or even sticking your arm out for leverage when jumping to head the ball. It’s an attempt to stop the player in possession progressing. There’s no other purpose and that is an offence.
However - I don’t think he should have gone to ground the way he did. So - on this occasion - I’m going with Ribs in that it was a peno and a dive.......
