I think Courtois was going for the ball and missed, and not the challenge. Good call on the penalty regardless.

Doesn't matter. He didn't need to go for it and he took a terrible angle for a challenge on the ball.

Also, Cahill :facepalm:

That was a plain as day foul on Cahill on that goal, by the way. Right through the back of him.

Cannot believe Victor Moses is getting playing time on this Chelsea squad.

tbf Courtois should be getting red carded every game anyway for still wearing 13 after being his team's starting goalkeeper for three seasons

Oh yeah, also worth noting that Jordan Henderson had his best game probably since his injury last year. He closed down space well, made some really nice passes (ala the one that made the 2nd goal), didn't lose the ball almost at all and in general seemed very energetic and composed. Would really love to see him build on that game, though he still needs to work on his composure.

-De Bruyne best player on the park in the derby. Still amazing that Mourinho dumped him out of Chelsea.

-For United Pogba and Ibra were poor and Mkhitaryan was invisible.

-Can't believe that Herrera doesn't start over Fellaini.

-To put Bravo's performance, which wasn't good as he looked shaky at times, into perspective, Stones was obstructing him on the United goal, City didn't offer the outlets for him that he had at Barça and both goals came after he played the ball with his feet at the back.
