If no one tries to give deserving punishment to these then football will keep losing as you get targeted for being talented. Playing here in the US I suffered a similar tackle, but I just managed to lift my right foot so it would not get stuck on the ground. Despite my foot being free in the air I suffered a severe high ankle sprain that took nearly 3 months to heal. Ref only gave a foul because the ball went out by the sideline. I had to keep playing and put some duct tape around my ankle, and the same for the next day.
