Now United have a penalty shout. Marcus Rashford goes past Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who holds his hands up and keeps his legs in as he tries his best to not touch Rashford - because if he does that's a penalty. Rashford goes down, he was expecting the contact. No penalty.

I'm sorry is...is that not literally a dive then?

It sounds like one yeah but i wouldn't call it a dive personally. A dive is throwing yourself to the ground to make it look like you've been fouled.

People think that these cases are either a dive or a foul and no in between but i think Rashford was running full pelt towards the keeper and tried to avoid him last second, lost his balance and then went down.

Sure, maybe he did dive but i'd give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
