I think the diving was a deliberate tactic

Their players and manager kept making the VAR signal at the ref every time there was an incident

Hopefully it will Work to the detriment of the big teams who get decisions from refs swayed by the crowd/superstars

        Exactly. 100% correct. (n/m) (NCFC) - APB, Jan 18, 08:57:31
      - taking a dive is cheating (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Jan 18, 08:37:17
        
        So penalty and a yellow card to Willian for cheating maybe? (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 18, 08:44:14
