The fact that when he made contact with the ball he had both feet off the ground (at least 3") means he was out of control and a penalty.Chippy_boy said:

Its an unwritten law then.
Penalty and a red all day long and you will see a similar tackle punished in such a way a few times before the season is out.

Serious foul play
A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality
against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play.
A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the
front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force
and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

it was, but he took nasri`s leg with the follow through while nasri was still in control of the ball

Edited for accuracy, admittedly he did get the ball but it was a lunge every day of the week.
Had we drawn or lost this game many many peoples laissez faire view would be very different!

15 or 20 years ago that would have been a superb challenge from Sandro, perfectly timed, took the ball, excellent. However this isn't 15 or 20 years ago, it's 2013 and I'm sorry but the pundits who agreed it was a fine challenge are simply demonstrating that they aren't really up to date with modern football. Yes, he played the ball first, but he did so in full knowledge that he was going to slide straight through the back of Nasri and clean him out. The "tackle from behind" rule interpretation was introduced to prevent injuries caused from just such a challenge. It's a foul, wherever it occurs on the pitch.
It's also worth noting that, whilst Sandro did indeed play the ball, he didn't clear the ball away from the danger area, he simply poked it a couple of foot ahead of Nasri. If he hadn't then continued his clide and brought Nasri down then he would still have had the opportunity to reach the ball and have a shot. So the fact he took Nasri out with the follow through has actually prevented a goalscoring opportunity.

Are people really wanting a penalty for that after they have seen the replay?
Do people want a non contact sport? He got the ball cleanly first and then carried on in to the Nasri. It was a good tackle and certainly no foul.
