According to this analysis (from the web),Chelsea should have had at least one penalty,probably giving them a 2-1 agrregate win. But then Ovrebo should not have red carded Abidal. Also how on earth did Ballack and Drogba manage to avoid red cards for their ludicrously over-the-top reactions?

24th Minute - Alves on Malouda

Daniel Alves hauls down Florent Malouda on the edge of the box with the Frenchman falling inside the area. The referee awards a free-kick but no penalty.

Verdict: Replays suggest the foul was committed just inside the box,but even then it is not 100 per cent conclusive. It was perhaps the wrong decision but perhaps an excusable miss.

26th Minute - Abidal on Drogba

Eric Abidal appears to tug and trip Didier Drogba in the box but the referee waves the appeal away.

Verdict: Has Drogba ever been told the story of the boy who cried wolf? A stonewall penalty for sure but perhaps years of 'simulation' have finally caught up with the Ivorian striker. It is hard to believe him whenever he goes down.

57th Minute - Toure on Drogba

Drogba storms into the box before Yaya Toure slides in to stop him.

Verdict: Spot on referee! Drogba waved his hands in disgust at this one too but his countryman clearly won the ball.

82nd Minute - Handball Pique

Nicolas Anelka looks to flick the ball past Gerard Pique but it hits the former Manchester United man square on the hand.

Verdict: Probably not intentional but Pique was very lucky to get away with this one as his arm was outstretched. Most refs would have given it.

97th minute - Eto'o handball

Michael Ballack rockets a shot at goal and it seems to hit Samuel Eto'o around the shoulder area.

Verdict: We have seen them given but it is hard to see how Eto'o could have got out of the way - he was turning his back from the ball at the time as opposed to moving his arms towards it.


Men occasionally stumble over the truth,but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
