Speaking to the media after the Man United clash, Cesar Azpilicueta hit out at VAR and the way it’s used in the Premier League.
He says it’s the referee who should take the responsibility in controversial episodes.
“With VAR, what disappoints me is the big decisions are taken by a referee in a monitor. The refs should go to the monitor to make the decisions.
“At least go to the monitor, 30 seconds for the right decision. The referee on the pitch has to be the one to make the decisions,” Azpi claimed.
The captain also justified his defensive actions before Kurt Zouma netted Chelsea’s would-be equaliser.
“The goal by Zouma, I have to push Williams, but Fred pushed me so I can’t do anything else. The referees on the pitch didn’t see anything.”
Despite vehement protestations from the Chelsea bench, referee Anthony Taylor never had a look at the monitor himself during the game.
Chelsea had two goals disallowed while a very controversial episode with Harry Maguire’s harsh tackle on Michy Batshuayi ended in the Red Devils’ favour.
