What do you guys think about this play?

I was watching live and when it happened I was yelling at Remy because he didn't go down, not at the referee. I thought since he jumped over Butland, that meant no penalty. But the NBCSN crew was told by some refereeing association (can't remember the name), that it should be a penalty and red card regardless because it's not about how much contact is made, the simple act of sliding and missing the ball is worthy of punishment. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone knew of that rule. I was watching with a couple friends and they also thought it wasn't a penalty. Even the Chelsea players weren't appealing for a penalty (although I'm sure Mou would have if he was there).
