It was definitely a penalty, but Nunez also did a massive dive to ensure it was given. By leaping so high in the air, prior to the contact with Ederson, and catching him on the thigh and not the ankle, he has effectively put our goalie out of action for a month. Before any of the usual suspects tell me it's bollocks, watch the replays. The Athletic described him thus: Nunez... launches... high into the air like a Uruguayan humpback whale leaping out of the ocean...
