As he lay in Tariq Lamptey’s wake early in the game, Luis Diaz looked pleadingly at referee Mike Dean.
The Colombian wanted a free-kick for the full-back’s robust but perfectly legal challenge, one he’d have been granted during his time in Portugal but one which would never be forthcoming here.
Diaz was back on the deck again soon after, this time properly flattened by Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez.
