Disagree.
You won't see this in slo-mo but watch it real time and watch Lukaku's run closely. Lukaku gets in front of nastasic and checks his run knowing Nastasic will go into the back of him. Nastasic doesn't put his hand up to shove him over - why would he - but because otherwise he collides with Lukaku. He (Lukaku) initiated the contact - in other words he went looking for a penalty and didn't get it. Plainly Lukaku didn't dive but he tried to win a penalty nonetheless.
Coleman on the other hand puts out an arm to impede Zaba - no other reason. Zaba went down easily (Sergio would have stayed on his feet) but he didn't initiaite the contact - it was a penalty.

Correct but it also highlights the naivety of Nastasic.100% of forwards will do what Lukaku did in order to make the contact happen and surely a good defender will know that and just leave him to it without getting too close so that such contact is inevitable. Penalty or not its poor from Nastasic.
