Terrible game from Pawson. Last ten minutes was a joke, especially the penalty and subsequent drop ball bullshit. Not to mention not giving a clear second yellow to Caicedo earlier
No Drama Chelsea Match Challenge : IMPOSSIBLE
What was that confusing last minute referreeing? BHA shot into Chelsea’s defender face and deflect out. Check for possible hand ball even it’s clear as day not? Then check complete and no corner? What is the ref doing?
Another game where the result was positive but so many variables that leave a mixed taste in your mouth. Disasi and Badiashille were fucking massive today. They can share MOTM.
Kinda weird seeing brighton fans complaining about ref when they were going down easy and winning soft fouls whole game.
what a fucking shitshow this was
Most Chelsea matches have just been fever dreams as far as I’m concerned. Don’t think I see as many strange and weird events in other matches - not talking about incorrect or controversial - just weird.
The ball hit Colwills large head, obviously it wasnt a pen but why did he give Chelsea possesion? It shouldve been a corner to brighton after the var check.
Chelsea fans: why can’t you be normal??
Chelsea: screams
Awesome for Caicedo finishing the game with 4 yellows
Ref standards and VAR standards have been atrocious this season.
Fuck Efan Ekoku and Craig Pawson
If I was not born blessed with the gift of sight, and instead had to rely on Ekokus commentary to understand the game then I would know as much about what actually happened in the match as uncontacted tribes in the Amazon.
Also, Craig Pawson just makes it up as he goes along. Was just bad for both teams.
Bruh how they gonna give a drop ball and not a corner? No guarantee for sure but to rob them even of a chance?
Brighton has enough chances inside the box to just shoot but they choose to move the ball around. Could have scored in one of those.
I don’t understand how they add injury time. There’s like no rhyme or reason to it.
