Going back to the penalty incident and itlooks as if there was little to no contact between Huth, Shawcross and Hazard. The Stoke pair tried to hustle the Belgian out of the ball, but instead he went down via the most minimal of touches.
Going back to the penalty incident and it
Chelsea lead 2-0 and it looks like that it’s Lampard who has nodded it in from a corner. I say it looks like because Jonathan Walters goes up with the midfielder. Surely it’s not a second own goal for the Stoke man?.Huge confusion here as referee Marriner looks to have given Stoke a penalty for Azpilicueta’s tackle on Etherington. the Britannia Stadium goes wild, but it turns out that the offside flag is raised and Marriner is merely acknowledging his colleague’s decision on the other side of the pitch. I wonder what Tony Pulis will have to say about that?
Begovic pulls off a good save to deny Cole. Ba does brilliantly to dig out a cross on the right and the ball goes all the way through to Cole who hammers the ball low and hard from the edge of the box. However, Begovic is there with his legs to keep it out.
Chelsea do some late pressing at the end of the first half and they’re rewarded. However, it actually looks to be an own goal from Jonathan Walters. Azpilicueta whipped in a cross from the left and the Stoke winger headed past his own goalkeeper with Mata in attendance.
