FIFA has officially announced the dismissal of the officials and referees from the recent Chelsea vs Leeds United . This decision comes after the referee gave a goal despite Hand Ball – VAR seems to have made another big mistake against Chelsea 😡.Seems the are favouring Manchester To top them
Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has strongly criticized the officiating and VAR process that allowed Leeds United’s equalizing goal to stand, despite what appeared to be a handball in the lead-up to the strike, calling the decision “unacceptable.”
The result was a bitter pill for Chelsea to swallow, having led by two goals only to be pegged back and forced to settle for a 2-2 draw with Leeds on Tuesday.
Rosenior acknowledged that his own side contributed to the disappointing outcome, pointing to Moises Caicedo’s foul that gifted Leeds their first goal and Josh Acheampong’s moment of hesitation that opened the door for the equalizer, both of which he said Chelsea must cut out of their game.
Despite taking responsibility for those individual errors, Rosenior maintained that if Jayden Bogle did make contact with the ball using his hand in the build-up to Leeds’ leveler, the goal should never have been allowed to stand. Speaking to TNT Sports after the final whistle, he said that while he initially believed it was a handball at the time, he had not yet reviewed the footage and therefore could not make a definitive judgment. He did, however, make clear that under the existing rules, any contact between the ball and a player’s hand in such situations should result in the goal being disallowed.
