Definite penalty on Diouf! I've got no doubt in my mind at all! Not got to the Toure one yet, will give my version later.

For me Toure was diving before he was touched. Diouf is more difficult to assess, he could have had his foot tapped, but he could also have pulled his foot away and faked it, only he will know and possibly the tackler.
More important Diouf missed a sitter and it could have cost 2 points so I hope MH takes him aside and points that out to him that he could have done even better.
Brilliant result, one of Stoke's all time best results against such an expensive side of massed talent. I reckon the video will be used as a master class on how to defend.

I thought both were penalties, so there we go. Both go down easy although Diouf is already off balance so more of a genuine penalty claim. Toure goes down very easy, but the tackle was so so unnecessary by Pieters. Could have ruined what was a great day.

I might be accused of being biased here, but for me it (Toure's) was not a penalty. Pieter's challenge was only half a challenge (he tried to pull his leg out of it), and Toure definitely made a meal of it, and got imho a deserved yellow card. Getting on to the full game, what a fantastic performance by each and everyone. Just a special mention for Phil Bardsley. He was absolutely magnificent! But again well done to each and everyone of them!

Toure just dived.
Pieters stuck a leg out, realised he wasn't go to get the ball and attempted to pull his leg back. Had Yaya carried on running, he probably would have been tripped, but instead he saw the leg and just jumped on the ground without any contact.
