It would be wrong to demonise the Chelsea player as a flint-hearted bully for trying to get the ball from a 17-year-old who knew exactly what he was doing.
Apologies in advance if any of this sounds harsh but there was a point, before Eden Hazard was shown the real thing, when it would have been no surprise if Charlie Morgan had bravely staggered to his feet and started waving an imaginary red card towards the referee.
