The player himself said it was a foul. Even the Chelsea manager insinuated that he was lucky to stay on the pitch. The tackle was clearly reckless.
That tackle was worse than the one that got Kompany sent off IMO.
You're really overcooking this, probably to justify the other penalties. Its a foul, outside the box, it isn't reckless, and Ivanovich is ahead of Cahill at the post covering Young's run. Free kick, outside the box, no red card. Its hard to say whether Cahill got the ball and diverted it, or Welbeck let the ball roll away from him so he could trip over. But he was certainly tripped.
