Yeah, I know what you mean and I saw on the replay that there was contact. But Welbeck provoked the contact - if he continued on his normal stride the normal movement would be for his foot to go over Lloris' hands.
As you said, refs give them. But I've also seen them not given.
The Brazilian midfielder you refer to must be Paulinho. He surges a lot forward and could have been better positioned, but it was Soldado's job to get on the end of that cross IMO.
I have the feeling Soldado is out of his depth, looking at the missed chance when Paulinho set him up earlier. Could be just a phase though, who knows?
