Well why shouldn't he fall on his back ? The clash created a huge explosion and pushed both of them away (you can actually see how both of them are falling down) We don't see if Naruto also falls on his back or not. We only see Sasuke falling on his back and then starting his Amaterasu attack. And only then we see Naruto again when he gets hit by Amaterasu. Naruto started his shadow clone attack after Sasuke's attack.

I personally think both of them are equally strong. There are many conditions we don't know about their fight. How exhausted were both of them. How much control did they have over their new abilities. How much chakra did Sasuke and Naruto took away (from the bijuus and nature) ? Was Sasuke able to use it perfectly (when he took Kurama's chakra Naruto and Sasuke said that he wasn't able to use it perfectly at the first moment) ? How strong were Naruto's attacks ? Did they have to be equally strong to Indra's Arrow (100 = 50 + 48 + element bonus(2) for example) or did they only had to be strong enough to block Indra's Arrow and let it detonate (much weaker than Indra's Arrow but strong enough to block it and let it detonate) ?

And as I already said in previous posts. There are many unlogical things in Naruto (for example that both of them were able to beat Juubito or fight on par with incomplete Juudara)
