Watching the highlights, it's quite clear to me that Mikel was also very lucky not to be sent off. Players (rightly) get booked all the time now for waving an imaginary card. But having decided against giving Lucas a second yellow for the foul, I can understand Clattenburg also deciding against giving Mikel a second yellow at the same time.
Had Lucas gone though, then I'd like to think that Mikel would have duly followed. So one red card avoided by Liverpool, but two by Chelsea (when you include Costa's kick).

Thanks for everything Pothas. You'll be missed. My nickname for you was apt and I will never forget it. For the last time, arise Sir Nic.
