Lots of talking points. The not given penalty for City. A clear one for me. And after that I had the feeling that he started compensating a bit in favour of City to make up for his mistake. Never a good idea for a ref.

The fact that Yaya Toure made it on the pitch till the final whistle was amazing. His kick against the thigh of Mata when on the ground was a red card. After that a slap when Mata told him he didn’t like it at all. I wonder if there has been some bad blood between them from in Spain? It could be that the ref didn’t see it but I really wonder why the Fa didn’t take any action on this and banned him after the game. Kicking an opponent with the ball nowhere to be seen near is a red card. No excuses for this.

Mereiles also should have had his marching orders and so should Kompany. Both with 2 yellow cards.

The penalty for Chelsea was justified. Lescott came in with his arms raised and away from his body to make a block on the ball. The ref had in my opinion no other option but to give a penalty.

So a rather low score for the ref in a difficult game.
