The Spaniard got involved in a tangle with Antonio Valencia in the 36th minute as he tried to clear the ball while under pressure from Eden Hazard.

De Gea was right on the edge, if not just outside the box when he handled the ball, however he escaped punishment.
The linesman also failed to spot the incident and there was no major reaction from the Chelsea players.
