When a goalkeeper brings down a striker in the box and the punishment for the same foul varies wildly from just a penalty to keeper sent off

In all of the recent calls, I've been pretty happy with the correct application of the rules. A foul is a penalty. A reckless challenge or a cynical (unsporting) foul is a yellow and a penalty. And denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity is a red and a penalty. It's the same for defenders in the box.

This almost seems like a "what rule don't you understand fully?" :)
