That's the way I saw it as well

Yeah don’t understand that at all, you aren’t well within your rights to elbow someone in the face, pure nonsense, must be some kind of dangerous play..
Good attitude of Christensen who gives everything, even if he is injured. I hope he can play the whole match.
Which body parts are these? I'll give you that it may be the upper part of the forearm, but hardly such an audacious claim that you'd be reasonably accusing someone for being on drugs for suggesting it.Elbow in the face? What are you smoking..
Well, only seen the latter part of the scene. Looking at this, it's clearly a foulWhich body parts are these? I'll give you that it may be the upper part of the forearm, but hardly such an audacious claim that you'd be reasonably accusing someone for being on drugs for suggesting it.
1-0

Hudson-Odoi has the body language of a Manchester United player.
I think it was the right arm he caught him with..Which body parts are these? I'll give you that it may be the upper part of the forearm, but hardly such an audacious claim that you'd be reasonably accusing someone for being on drugs for suggesting it.
Should've been a red card for Lukaku.
What? It's his left arm.
I think on replay he might even catch him with both elbows.
Thay should be a red regardless of how much ball he gets.
Look at his arm around Lukaku's waist and how low his head is, Lukaku's arm isnt even raised that high. It's completely fine.
Well deserved booking
There's a huge difference between what happened and claiming he elbowed himWhich body parts are these? I'll give you that it may be the upper part of the forearm, but hardly such an audacious claim that you'd be reasonably accusing someone for being on drugs for suggesting it.
Even you in your attempt to prove yourself right admit it wasn't an elbow. Anyway, what kind of drugs were you smoking again?That's a sodding Red!!!
How is that not a red? Two footed and completely out of control.
This was after the hit

Next time someone's going to snap both legs of the opponents and it'll be the ref's fault for allowing this type of tackle as long as it's "well made". If anyone, you'd trust Mike Dean to show a red for that.
Two-footed lunge and the thug really tries to claim that this was ok?
Never a booking
He throws it behind him but..

Very surprised that's not a red card. Seemed a full throttle two footer that.
Wow
That's the 2nd time he hits him in the face.

A clear foul by Lukaku, how that goal stood in the VAR area is mad, then again the ref is Mike Dean and more often than not he's too arrogant to double check it on the screen.
Another red ignored for Chelsea.
Wow
Orange card. Yellow probably was right, if the refs can apply consistency.
Comedian eh?
Agreed, think either outcome would have solid ground
It's a red. Completely mental challenge despite of the lack of contact.
Feck off Rudiger you reckless twat.
Okay, so it was an upper forearm, 4-5 cm from the elbow, to the face. Does that make the action more allowed then? No it doesn't. Hardly a case of drug smoking to describe an upper forearm to the face as an elbow to the face. I mean, I get that you want to be loyal to your team but if one of their players had hit your player in the head to get a free header on goal you'd be screaming for a foul, which it should've been.There's a huge difference between what happened and claiming he elbowed him
I mean, I understand you're trying to claim that 4-5 centimetres is huge because it helps your case, but in the real world it's not.
Commentators on Irish telly got it spot on. You don’t judge the dangerousness of a tackle by the damage done to the opponent. Which is exactly what happened here. Whoever’s on VAR is having an absolute shocker.
Rüdiger is a bit like Verstappen, should be reined in from time to time.
The amount of ref decisions Chelski is getting their way this years is ridiculous, it is unreal.
That is the one that the defender hits the deck for.
Rüdiger is such a nutter, there was like 0 need to jump in like that. But well if Kane didn't get red for the same tackling, this isn't a red either.
