No...

But he's deviated the ball away from goal, and in the course of doing that both players have ended up on the floor.

You see all sorts of 50-50 challenges these days resulting in free kicks/penalties/sendings off, and in the grand scheme of things the incident we just witnessed isn't even close to controversial. It's just the wrong decision.
