9 men will do that.. at one stage even with 9 looked like it could be 2-2 and then Jackson took it away from them

I didn't watch the game. But 11-9 will always be tough.

Watching Tottenham vs Chelsea. Too too too much VAR. Ruins the flow.
Edit: 12 minutes of added time for a 45 minute half. Sums it up.

VAR was crucial to making good decisions in this game, it’s the process that VAR follows that can irritate me. For Chelsea’s second goal, they could have checked it in 5 seconds after the goal was scored whilst the players were celebrating, instead of which it took minutes whilst the players were back in position ready to start. Improve the process, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

I hate it now. If it’s not obvious and it takes 2 minutes of replay then stick with onfield decision. Game slowed to a halt at times.

I still am having difficulty understanding Romero's red card. He played the ball first and just happened to clatter the other guy afterward. Sure what happen after wasn't good but it was in the act of playing the ball. This VAR in soccer and rugby has to be improved. Haven't look at Rashfords's one today yet.

The game changed 20 years ago, you can’t make contact with the ball and then follow through studs up into someone’s shin anymore. That isn’t controversial.

@Dodge Yes, not a hard rule to understand. Like when Villa played Chelsea earlier in the season, my Chelsea mates were sulking when Gusto followed through and caught Lucas Digne studs up after collecting the ball. Was a clear red today. Didn't seem to whinge so much after the Tottenham game funnily enough.

Chelsea vs MC was a great watch.

In 2 weeks there are some scintillating fixtures starting with MC vs Liverpool.

What a disgusting decision, especially considering a team like Man City can flaunt the rules and get off scot free

I agree it appears some teams have different rules , although given the way this year is playing out, good chance to stay up regardless

City and Chelsea are both facing charges (City are facing 115 charges, vs the 1 that Everton has just been found guilty of). So I think the real test of the decision will come when those cases are resolved and what kind of penalty they'll get. If 1 charge is worth a 10 point deduction, 115 would be relegation at a minimum you'd think. Here's hoping the EPL have the guts to do that.
