Unfortunate for Ivanovic. It was a foul but you could see he was just trying to get to the other side of Young to get between him and the goal. Clattenburg couldn't really do anything else though.

100% right. Unfortunate, but he has to go really. He has stopped a clear goalscoring opportunity, no matter how accidental it was.

Correct decision I suppose but Young could have probably stayed on his feet if he'd wanted to there. Should have just let Young score, Chelsea would've been more likely to get something out of this from 3-2 down than at 2-2 with 10 men.

Oscar has a permanently surprised look on his face.

How could he? Young had his feet clipped by Ivanovic, you don't have a choice to stay up when that happens.

As for letting them score, Ivanovic wasn't actually trying to tackle him so it's a bit of a moot point that one.

I can still see Chelsea getting something out of this. Oh, maybe not now Torres has gone.

[Matt]

Fuck right off.

Edit: I dunno, the contact looked minimal, he could have stayed up I reckon.... he was never going to, I admit.

[MJB]

Wow.

[Starvinho]

lol Torres, not sure about that though.

[TCO]

Evans definitely caught him there.

[Starvinho]

We need to win this now, we won't get many opportunities like this against Chelsea.

[Baddar]

That was not a dive.

[MJB]

20 mins against 9 men and yet I'm still not convinced we won't concede again.

[Adam]

I don't have the clearest picture of it to be honest but it looks like a dive to me.

We're not talking about Suarez diving now are we

[maninblack]

WTF, Torres too?

[Adam]

What a greedy bastard Van Persie is, Rafael was open. Terrible effort.

[Starvinho]

Pea!!!

[Matt]

Yeah I'm turning this off. Fuck this.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

HERNANDEZ

He loves playing against Chelsea.

[maninblack]

Aaaaaaand there's goal #3.

[IAceI]

Streuth! Offside too by the looks of it.

[MJB]

I thought Chicharito looked offside. And that's because he was.
