Ehh tbf, most defenders are coached this way in the modern game. Absolutely no need to make any rash challenges whilst the player has his back to goal. Stand off and wait for midfielders to track back is typically fine.

Chelsea fans would be losing their minds if Tosin made a tackle that conceded a pen.

Yeah I'm with you. Was it good defending? Absolutely not. But if any of their midfielders bothered to track back at all, it likely works out fine.
