Yeah pretty embarrassing by anyone calling for a ban against Salah. Firstly, he was pulled back by Dummett to prevent his run going any further. Dummett's reaction told the story - he knew he had fouled Salah. Secondly, there's fouls called like that all over the ground all the time and nobody blinks an eye. This wouldn't have got a mention at all if Junior Hoilett won a similar penalty for Cardiff City.
Most ironically Salah's been kicked and pulled pillar to pillar by defenders at Anfield who have gotten away with it repeatedly. No surprises that we haven't heard any of the usual suspects complain about that treatment from defenders(and the fact that Liverpool haven't had a penalty awarded at Anfield since October 2017 - figure that one out). Yeah he shouldn't have gone down easily but Dummett also shouldn't have pulled him back. It's not the worst penalty call I've seen and barely worthy of even a mention.
