Premier League have just announced the shocking VAR Error By referees of Manchester City VS Chelsea- Manchester City denied late penalty as Pep Guardiola’s side drop points in title race
The reigning champions began the day second, two points behind Liverpool, but have since slumped to third.
Liverpool beat Brentford 4-1 earlier on Saturday to put pressure on City, while Arsenal also won 5-0 at Burnley.
And City failed to secure the three points, having to settle for their fourth draw of the season.
Raheem Sterling returned to haunt his former side, breaking the deadlock with a beautiful finish into the bottom corner after a quick Chelsea counter-attack in the 42nd minute.
The former Manchester City player should have added a second goal early in the second half, but Ederson stopped his close-range shot.
Pep Guardiola’s side continued to press for a reaction, with Erling Haaland wasting a clear chance as the time ticked down.
City finally got their equaliser in the 83rd minute, when Rodri’s thunderous drive deflected off Trevoh Chalobah and into the net.
Then came the dispute, with Colwill handling the ball in additional time, despite VAR’s claim that it was an accident.
City failed to generate another opportunity, and Chelsea held on for an important point despite the dispute.
Guardiola and co. are now four points behind leaders Liverpool, but have a game in hand against Brentford on Tuesday.
