That shocking decision: Not one Chelsea player complained

By Hughie Southon

There is one on field scenario which tells us that if a goalkeeper goes to ground and a player finds it impossible to avoid him whether a foul has been committed.

Just watch the reaction of the stopper’s team mates. If none of them are up in arms then you can bet your life there has been no wrongdoing.

Players know, refs and VAR really don’t on many occasions and this afternoon when Mendy decided to go to ground and give Jarrod Bowen no chance of avoiding him there was not a single complaint from any Chelsea player when a goal  followed.

Mendy, meanwhile, went through the whloe range of theatricals and was in part ultimately responsible for the worst refereeing decision ever seen since VAR arrived.

This may sound over the top but personally I have never seen such a horrible decision in the game having watched Jarrod do everything in his power to get out of Mendy’s way.

He knew, the Hammers players knew and more importantly the Chelsea players knew there had been no offence.

Quite simply the keeper cheated, the referee was conned and we were genuinely robbed,
