Did Fabregas slap him in the chops? Think that is what set him off.

Slightly, didn't justify his reaction.....

Great match by Chelsea, the frustration of City in the end was telling....

Oh, not suggesting for a second that it did - I missed the slap but saw Fernandinho shoving him toward the touch line.

Fabregas did seem to do a bit of an 'Alcock' in the replay I saw - the final shove looks a good couple of yards away from where he ended up

I'm sure that Fabregas wouldn't have made a meal of it though

[Black can man]

i didn't see the slap neither .


Never seen Aguero launch into a tackle like that before .

It was a hand to the face. Don't know if it was an actual slap but he wasn't keen on it. Fabregas totally milked it and decided to fall over the barrier.

Not sure it was even given as a foul in that game ...

Both tackles very, very poor show by Sergio.
Not that it's much mitigation but David Luiz is a consistently cheating prick.

Huh? He was red-carded for it?

Oh, you mean the one in 2013?

[Mr Snrub]

Just finished my training course. I assume I didn't miss anything?

[smn159]

Glad that we didn't get Stones on todays evidence

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Just back, what a brilliant day out.

Will need to see MOTD, but I thought Luiz should have gone for stopping a goal scoring opportunity in the 1st half. Plus the looked like they might have had a pen or two. Not ever sure their disallowed goal was offside.

At least the ref got the Aguero red card right.

Turning point was when De Bruyne hit the bar at 1-0. I could've scored that. I dont think Costa is nearly as good a player as Aguero but in terms of work rate, Costa is superb.

[m3sye]

Costa looks so much better since he started to concentrate on the game rather than crying or fighting..great game from him today

[tali1]

Only thing Citeh got on target was Luiz's thigh

It was a slap and it wouldn't surprise me if he gets banned retrospectively.

Already been booked for it..... so can't be.

Didn't we do well sending Nathan Ake on loan to Bournemouth

Another prime example why the loan system is wrong on every level

Well what a fine sporting weekend this has turned out to be

Not going well for Jose is it? Such a crying shame
