No goal. Offside.

[Bigpokey24]

potter is not a good coach . This is the truth

[Cito]

I really thought Chelsea were going to score 3-4 goals in this game going by the way they started coupled with how bad West Ham were playing then.

[Bigpokey24]

that is a PK

Ref should have given a penalty for Chelsea there. Handball by Soucek

[Sleaky72]

That should be a PK

[Cito]

That should be a penalty!

WestHam may nick this at the death.

[Cito]

That’s a poor ROI for ~€1b.

No VAR.

That’s a poor ROI for ~€1b.

Chelsea has to pay Potter the 60m and get him off his contract. Man is a mid-table coach.

Not a PK! Ball to hand! He was falling down already before the ball hit him. He needed to have his arm there to break his fall!

I don't see any trouble. If Cucu's emotions are affected, he can avoid it by playing better.

Lee Mason, Neil Swarbrick dropped as VAR for next Premier League games after errors

Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the body responsible for match officials across English football, has removed from duty two additional VAR officials involved in controversial incidents last weekend for the next round of Premier League games, it was announced Tuesday.

Neither Lee Mason nor Neil Swarbrick have been given a VAR appointment for the next set of matches.

Mason failed to identify Christian Norgaard had come back from an offside position to create Ivan Toney's equaliser as Brentford drew 1-1 at Arsenal.

- VAR's worst weekend: What went wrong for Arsenal, Chelsea

It meant the offside lines were not applied by Mason, and the goal was allowed to stand. The result saw Arsenal's lead over Manchester City cut to three points ahead of their meeting at the Emirates on Wednesday.

Chelsea were also denied a penalty in the 89th minute of their 1-1 draw at West Ham United when Tomas Soucek appeared to stop Conor Gallagher's shot with his hand, diving to his left. Swarbrick, the Premier League's head of VAR, chose not to tell the referee he had missed a possible spot kick.

PGMOL's new chief refereeing officer, Howard Webb, admitted to "significant errors" on two offside decisions on Saturday and had taken immediate action by removing John Brooks as VAR from Liverpool vs. Everton on Monday, and Wednesday night's match between Arsenal vs. Manchester City (replaced by David Coote).

Brooks incorrectly ruled out a Pervis Estupinan goal for Brighton & Hove Albion at Crystal Palace on Saturday, placing the offside line onto the wrong player in a game that ended in a 1-1 draw. Brooks will return in Saturday's early fixture when Arsenal travel to Aston Villa after sitting out two matches.

Although PGMOL did not acknowledge the Chelsea penalty in its statement, alongside the goals for Brentford and Brighton, it is considered a mistake.
