I was thinking that it was good that the ref was letting contact happen during the game, then he makes a decision like that
Now the ref has changed his tolerance levels and blowing for everything and in the process ruining the game
What did Muniz do wrong? He turned away from Chalobah quickly. Chalobah was attempting to challenge him, which is why there was contact.
It is actually a decision that you could almost understand had the ref given it immediately - reacting to the Chelsea players theatrics. But to review in detail for 2 minutes and then give it is inexcusable.
It was VAR that caused it. Once they call the ref to the screen they don't stay with their original decision
They need more competent refs. How anyone looking at that thinks it was a foul is beyond me. It hasn't a clear error so the VAR is wrong to intervene but the referee should just have ignored him.
Oh, really? "Interestingly, this is the third time in three matches VAR have ruled out a goal in Chelsea's favour"
Competent or just empowered? For me it is both. And in that case, no former player would have given that as a foul, so why not have that expertise available to VAR, rather than just have a 2nd rate ref and slow motion?
