Because he planned to do it

What does the "special one" say about it as we all know he does,nt like such things or is it ok for Brazilians?

"I think Oscar was waiting for the goalkeeper to collide, to touch him clearly and after that, without conditions to score he was looking for the penalty. It was a good decision by the referee."

Going past the keeper and scoring looked the easier option.

Can't think what was going through his head and quite uncharacteristic - hopefully he'll learn from that!

Can't complain about that yellow!

Didn't see it. I was miles away

I agree with the above comments. How anyone can think that a penalty (albeit with the keeper sent off) is preferable to guaranteeing a 1-0 lead which at that time looked to be crucial in obtaining. Poor decision-making and crazy logic.

He was looking at the long game, playing against 10 men with a penalty some may say is better than being 1-0 up against 11.

What Mourinho said afterwards is correct, 9 times out of 10 the keeper would make substantial contact to bring him down properly, but the keeper today read the situation and pulled away, leaving Oscar who was already off balance waiting for the contact to go on lurking with his right leg for a contact.

Can't complain. I probably would have taken the penalty and playing against 10 men myself.

I hope Jose kicks his arsse for that, it was feckin shameful.

Remember firstly that Jose had Robben
