I have three problems here re Herrera:

- The first is that a referee cannot unilaterally warn a team. A yellow card for persistent fouling is on a per player basis.

- The second is that while Herrera fouled him, at least he was attempting to play football. When Cahill dragged Rashford down (after Rashford beat him for pace) no yellow was given. Which as fans would we prefer?

- Finally, a good portion of "fouls" on Hazard was that the player fell over as soon as a defender came tight to him. If you fell over like that on a Saturday in New Zealand you'd be laughed at. Rashford was getting it as well, but he wasn't falling over as cleverly.

Must say I enjoyed Rojo standing on Costa's foot

Costa deserved a yellow here. But Michael Oliver is a bitch.

I only watched bits here and there but what a brainless foul from Herrera. They'd literally just been told a yellow was in the offing 5 seconds before, and then he does that. It wasn't even close either, the ball was long gone when he tripped him.
