Regardless of whether it's intentional when someones arm stops a shot on target like that it should be a penalty, it would have probably been a goal without the deflection.

when he isn't in control (ie falling over) its hard to say for sure its on purpose

His arm also didn't move towards the ball relative to his body

Good start, first 20-15 minutes was good but since then we've been poor. Can't pass, Chelsea attacking at will.

Great pressure without really producing any really decent chance (apart from the Martial one that was saved), but at least Utd have had a few shots on target I guess
 
Never a pen in a million years. Terry hit it pretty straight at Blind. If he didn't hit his arm then it would have hit his chest anyway
 
I would love to know what LvG rates Fellaini for and what he thinks he does better than our other options.

Mertial should have scored there
 
Fellaini vs Hazard. How could this go wrong.

Ooh that looks nasty. Landed on a straight leg and is literally screaming in pain. Hope the lad is ok. That could be ligament damage.

Agree. I wouldn't give the red card that would have gone with it (only if it's intentional) but the rules should be changed so that any shot that's blocked with an arm is a pen regardless of intent.
