Interesting first 30 minutes for Jones. First of all, Chelsea’s Havertz left his foot in on a challenge in the Man City area and was a little fortunate not to be cautioned.
Then Chelsea appealed for a foul, possible DOGSO, but there didn’t seem to be any contact on the forward and this was dismissed by Jones and VAR John Brooks.
A possible handball shout in the Chelsea area which Jones had a reasonable view of but play continued while this was checked. When the ball went dead, Robert Jones was recommended for an OFR by John Brooks and it was pretty clear that Havertz handled the ball. Good use of technology here and the correct decision reached.
Jones does have presence and quality as a referee but I feel he has been a little wishy washy so far. That early caution if he deemed it so might have helped him control wise. Just an opinion.
