The Colombian headed over the onrushing Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, who wiped out the 25-year-old with a high foot when attempting to clear his lines. Sanchez's challenge resulted in Diaz being down injured on the ground, though he eventually got back on his foot to continue playing after this initial scare. Former Premier League official Peter Walton was left confused by Sanchez avoiding a dismissal, claiming a challenge of this nature would have resulted in a red card in any other area of the pitch. "If that was two outfield players there, I'm sure this would be looked at for serious foul play," he told BT Sport.
