A320 X/Wind landing

Watched video with interest.If crosswind component within Co and A/C limits...no big deal.Usually,F/O s have crosswind limits in most companies so I guess Capt. should have been handling pilot.Aircraft was on centreline until Pilot corrected drift with Left rudder nicely but someone forgot to tell him that the induced yaw from such a large rudder input would cause the wing to lose lift and he should have applied down aileron (co-ordinated with rudder input) on the opposite wing.Flown both Boeings and Airbus in similar conditions and provided you coordinate rudder/ailerons ,should not be a problem.Interesting though,in 35yrs of flying never been given max crosswind tasks in Sim!!...maybe time to go back to basic airmanship checks?
