It's what most forwards do, see a keeper flying out and make the most of it.

Keeper pulls out of it but at game speed with the crowd baying for blood a lot of officials give it.

They needed a break like that.

It is pathetic how because it's Rashford commentators refuse to call it a dive. If that had been a foreigner they'd get hammered.

It Rashford wants to dive then that's his right but the referee's job his to punish him and not give a penalty that he can only be guessing at.

Report Angela Rebecchi • April 30, 2017 12:59 PM BST

This is why video replays are needed. Not for goals maybe as that kills moments, but for dangerous tackles or penalty decisions.

Not enough punishment to deter wrongdoing in the game. Defenders grabbing,shirt pulling,blocking with no intention to play the ball etc.,forwards diving.
Bring back obstruction rule and harsher penalties and we may rescue the game.

what makes it worse is ex players condoning it in the studio afterwards. Both Owen and Saunders saying he had to dive to avoid getting hurt, this is absolute nonsense, if you wanted to avoid getting hurt you would simply hurdle the advancing keeper.

in both cases if the defender steps back, both attackers have already lost the ball by kicking it out, so neither seriously trying to get in on goal.
