Weird reaction. I understand the feeling of wanting to defend your own players, but Neves went down every opportunity he got. He milked every challenge. In the first half, having just dived in recklessly to win the ball and being clattered by our player in the process who had to leap over his wild challenge, he stayed down for a good couple of minutes, struggled to carry his war-torn body off the pitch, only to return to action 20 seconds later with a sprint and spring in his step.
My point is merely this: he's an incredible player. Why does he need to resort to such spoiling tactics when he clearly doesn't need them?
For what it's worth your penalty was one of the softest I've ever seen. I would have been fuming if it had been worth anything more than a consolation goal.
