I think he was ok, penalty was bad but not as bad as you make it seem. He made a last second effort to block mctominays potential shot. Happens i guess
It's ok but it's not the best decision to tackle. the distance is quite close, if he close the right part of Mc Torminay, he need to shoot with his left or run the ball with Savona also behind. Shooting Angle is small. Mc Torminay also right footed so it increase the chance he will move the ball to the his right foot just like what he did and Loca tackle hit his left foot.

It might just a milisecond decision but tackle to the ground like that and in the penalty box increase the chance of the foul. With penalty, scoring opportunity is bigger. Its not the best decision to take at that moment. It also probably he also was tired, and thats the reason we lost the midfield and 2nd ball in 2nd half. Motta should have subs him or Koop earlier with Luiz / Fagioli to gain control back
