Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points from the FA Cup Final

#2 Michael Oliver gets the penalty decision spot on

Phil Jones is booked after conceding a penalty

Both Pogba and Matic failed to close down Cesc Fabregas in Chelsea's half and that was United's first mistake leading to the penalty. As soon as the Spaniard received the ball in acres of space, he took his lob first time to find Hazard and that was what caught United out.

By the time Hazard made a superb run with the ball and was well past Phil Jones, the defender struggled to get goal side of the Blues forward. Jones had no choice but to risk a penalty when going for the tackle as Hazard prepared to pull the trigger.

Chelsea players were up in arms as soon as Oliver blew the whistle and pointed to the spot. Jones was the last man and they wanted a red card but the referee only produced a yellow card with Jones walking away without arguing, knowing full well it was a clear penalty.

Why not a red card for the last-man tackle? It's because the rules were changed recently to avoid the double-jeopardy moment where the team gets a man sent off even as the opponent gets a penalty.

Jones concedes a penalty after bringing Hazard down in the box

If a player commits the offence within their own penalty area when denying an opponent an obvious goalscoring opportunity, the referee awards a penalty kick and the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball.

Since Jones was looking to play the ball rather than deliberately bring down Hazard, the yellow card was the right decision.
