It was interesting to see how much praise Michael Oliver got for sticking to his guns after watching the pitchside monitor - when the decision in the Chelsea game seemed even easier to make (I'm still not sure Oliver's decision was right; the Chelsea one was obviously wrong).
I wonder if the Mendy incident had happened the following week, with the referee having seen someone else do it first, whether he'd have been emboldened to stick with his original decision.
