Stupid from Nico that he didn’t go on the ground there. Had he done that, I’m sure it would’ve been a pen. A shirt tug is always a foul but rarely given in the box if the striker doesn’t go down. Sad that it has to be like that but that’s the game

Yeah this is exactly why players "sell" contact. If they don't these incidents tend to get overlooked. From there it is just a fine line between selling contact and diving, which is why these fouls need to be given even if the player doesn't go down.
