However, VAR finally worked in Chelsea‘s favour on Saturday afternoon against West Ham, as the Hammers’ late equaliser was chalked off. The referee decided that Jarrod Bowen fouled Edou Mendy in the build-up to Max Cornet’s strike.
West Ham fans could be forgiven for thinking they had a point stolen from them, with plenty of Chelsea fans admitting the non-goal decision was quite soft.
But a West Ham captain taking to Twitter to complain about VAR? That’s a bit something else and that’s precisely what Declan Rice did after the game.
“That’s up there with one of the worst VAR decisions made since it’s come into the game. Shambles,” Rice tweeted.
