Oliver was fooled by collapsing Maddison

BOTH teams at Wembley were guilty of diving to try to win penalties.

Michael Oliver correctly booked Son Heung-min for a dive in the first half after the Tottenham forward had thrown himself over Harry Maguire’s planted leg.

And James Maddison can count himself fortunate not to have received the same punishment in the second half after the Leicester midfielder went to ground under very little contact from Jan Vertonghen.

With VAR, Oliver would have been able to watch a replay. Here it showed that Maddison had collapsed before any challenge from the Spurs defender.

Given Maddison was shown a second yellow card for diving at Brighton in November, I am surprised he risked being caught out again yesterday.
