When you look at Salah's dive again, you can see Salah push his arm into Ruben's chest in order to ward of a tackle. Dias is trying to push away the arm without any significant pull or sustained hold. In the final outcome it didn't deny us a win, but it could have done. With Salah's reputation, you would think ref's would be a little less gullible. I recall back in the late 60's how Franny Lee got a reputation amongst ref's and was denied a few genuine penalties because of it.
