Edit- I rewatched again and I guess it’s up in the air I mean you watch it in slow mo and it looks like he could of stayed up and in real time you think he never regains himself. So I don’t know not saying I think he intentionally dived but I was worried that the refs could of looked at it that way when I watched the game.

When your foot is kicked out while your back is turned and you don't see it, I seriously doubt anyone would manage to stay on his feet. The flailing arms looks like a sell, but I think it is just as easily genuine surprise and fighting for balance. Definitely not inconclusive enough for a referee to make an embellishment call.
