'I must admit, I never thought I would see three penalties given against Manchester United at Old Trafford. I certainly didn’t think we would get the one given to Sturridge,” the Barcelona forward writes.
'He threw himself down. But then it was such a good dive that even I thought it was a penalty. I saw it and thought penalty. But then I also saw how annoyed Vidic was, which made me think that perhaps it wasn’t a foul.'
'When I saw the replay, I realised that Daniel was about a metre away from Vidic. I said to Daniel later, ‘Can you imagine what would have happened if that would have been me?’
'He said ‘I felt him touching me’ and started laughing.'
The penalty that Sturridge won turned out to be the one that was missed by Gerrard, although it did result in Vidic being sent off - ending any faint hopes of a United comeback on the day.
