BBC saying it right:

The referee was to blame for not giving a penalty to Chelsea for the incident involving Radamel Falcao. I can sympathise with Jose on the decision not to award a spot-kick for this, as it was a very valid claim.

However, this ignores the two clear incidents when Southampton should have been awarded a penalty for the shirt-tug on Virgil van Dijk and the trip on Sadio Mane. You win some, you lose some.

Oh, and the fact that Southampton were the better side. That too.
 
BBC -

"Let's give Southampton some love. They defended resolutely, they attacked ruthlessly. They had the best player on the pitch in Sadio Mane. They are the first team to score three goals at Stamford Bridge against a Jose Mourinho team in the Premier League. They are now up to ninth in the table with 12 points."

Christ we won for gods sake.

Cant we all give it a rest and appreciate an amazing TEAM performance...


Remember that some people on here will only pick their favourites players as MOTM. It really does beggar belief at times how biased some are on here to their favourites. Pelle and Mane absolutely terrorised Chelsea. Those two were the difference between the two teams. Pelle my MOTM, Mane in second.
