There weren’t too many controversial incidents to take note of in this game, but one contentious moment did come up early in the second-half when left-back Pape Souare appeared to go high over the ball with both his studs off the ground.
His momentum took out Juan Mata, who can consider himself extremely lucky that he didn’t come out of that challenge with a broken leg. Referee Lee Mason’s decision to only book the fullback angered many United players and fans in and around Old Trafford.
Souare was probably saved by the fact that he had played the ball before making the challenge. It was a contentious decision, but one which was quickly accepted by the opposite side.
