When Chelsea scored their equalising objective , there was an honest delay as VAR checked it.
The query was whether or not the offside Marc Guiu had bought a contact on the ball because it went by to Marc Cucurella. Ultimately the video ref determined there hadn’t been, and the objective stood.
As they have an inclination to do lately, the Premier League put out an announcement about why they’d not given the objective:
“The referee’s name of objective was checked and confirmed by the VAR as there was no factual proof that Guiu made contact with the ball within the build-up, due to this fact there was no offside offence,” they wrote on Twitter.

Chelsea get away with one after Colwill foul
However as Gary Neville identified at some size on commentary for Sky Sports activities, there was really a much better purpose to rule out the objective – the foul from Levi Colwill on Jarrod Bowen because the striker raced again to defend.
“I really thought there was a foul on Bowen loads earlier within the transfer,” Neville stated.
“I believe it was a foul, take a look at that, Colwill stepping throughout Bowen. I believe it’s thought of to be too far again however I believe that’s an apparent foul. I assumed so on the time. The Bowen foul needs to be noticed.
“I might be livid if I used to be West Ham. I believe the referee and assistant referee are each trying on the recreation from that aspect, they need to spot that. Colwill simply goes and takes him out so he can’t get in the direction of [goalkeeper Filip] Jorgensen.”
He then went on for some time about “how far again” the referee and VAR may take into account when deciding whether or not a foul had influenced a objective immediately sufficient to be dominated out.
We bought away with one right here, however we’ve had our justifiable share of dangerous selections,
