Well the reality is that fouls like the one on Kane get called virtually every time. Should a professional athlete be able to keep their feet given that kind of contact? I think so. But that's not the test. The reality is that there was contact and the player went down. Frankly, it's barely relevant because the penalty was saved, and if anything that save sparked some life into Liverpool.
I have no idea who anyone could think that the kick on Lamela was not a foul. I saw the video from the vantage point of the touch judge and it's just blatant.
