He just misreads the curve on the ball.
It looks when he comes to run to get it that he's going to get it, but it curves away from him.
Courtois is in trouble then.
It bounces a little bit away from him.
Look, you can see he's 18 inches away from making a good, clean tackle.
That's why he's not sent off now.
Yeah, well, the rule has changed now.
That's right.
It was a genuine effort to play the ball.
It wasn't just pulling down someone and stopping a goal.
So as excited as everybody got here in the stadium thinking they might see a card, the referee got that one absolutely right.
