Are you saying that you are allowed to pull a player in the box?
It is a foul and it was in the box, soft but stonewall pen.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Defenders pull, hold, grab, climb etc at every single corner, nothing is ever given (or extremely rarely) to the attacking team.
So, if contact 10 times worse goes unpunished at every single corner why should the mere slightest of touches be punished like on Allen.
The touch by Dier was not enough to impede Allen in any way, Allen felt the slight contact and threw himself to the floor, a blatant dive and attempt to cheat.
Problem is, Liverpool players have been rewarded for diving many times and so will continue for as long as they go unpunished.
Allen should have been given a yellow for diving , which would seen him see red.
