This James McCarthy vs Bruno incident (VIDEO BELOW) saw McCarthy tackle Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes, who went down to the ground immediately. Bruno’s reputation as a diver lead to mixed reactions among social media- some were of the opinion that he went down too easily and made a meal of the challenge, while others thought it was a genuine reaction to the tackle (you can see McCarthy clipping him and making contact). A controversial incident nevertheless.
