Not the correct decision if it was for taking two touches. He slipped on taking it and the ball hit his other leg. It was unintentional so he therefore didn't "take" two touches. If you slip and eff up on the run-in you don't get a retake or anything, if he had an involuntary advantage it's the same. Those goals (not that it happens often) are never disallowed.
Utterly ludicrous about Man City penalty - nailed on. Far more so than Marhez falling over thin air as Clichy pulled his foot away

And you are simply wrong about the penalty as the law stands, I'm afraid. Counts as playing the ball - hence the referee was right.
