Accident, Both Times

On the numerous slow motion replay's Sky were playing yesterday, you can see that the Reading player never changed his stride, never deviated from the run he was on and that, if anything, Cech saw what was coming, and tried to move his head out of the way. Maybe he COULD have tried to jump over him but I think the pace he was at plus the speed Cech came out for the ball made that impossible.

The second one seemed as if it was TWO collisions and that Cudicini was initially knocked by one of his own players which put him in the path of Sonko who might not have made contact had Cudicini not been slightly deflected into his path.
