It seems like I am in the minority as I see this as a penalty all day. Vela beats the keeper to the ball and touches it out the keeper's path. The keepers right leg is the first thing to make contact with Vela's right ankle which at speed is enough to throw Vela's gate off. Vela's leg is then caught by the keeper's arm and Vela is now on the ground. Keeper can't complain as he didn't get to the ball.

Look at the second angle. Keepers foot caught the grass at the same time the attacker happens to be dragging his foot.

Same.

I’ve seen WAY softer penalties called.
