Pawson is not at the level a premier league ref should be.

Can't believe we didn't completely throw it away

That was horrid for my heart health

Fucking shit ref, thank fuck for VAR

One normal game Chelsea... Is that too much to ask?

In what world was that a drop ball?

Ohhh fuck me heart..! What a match lol

I'm actually so confused right now...

what the in mother nature was that ending

VAR: bro come look at how hard this rocks him in the face.

Another VAR and referring disaster class.

Why the fuck were 10 mins added to this game???

Craig Pawson deserves to never ref again

Never seen anything like it since the Tottenham game, officials doing their best to give the opposition a win, giving a corner for a shot that is miles wide we concede from, no red for Milner, then the most obvious head of all time sent for a review. Why is VAR so fucked for Chelsea and Wolves

And breathe...

Plucky midtable team holds on for a win with 10 men against wasteful top 6 team with Barcelona's former #10 in their ranks

Solid survival job after going down to 10 players. Our players need to learn some discipline and stop acting so immature. Learnt nothing in this game about our tactics and stuff. Scrappy win

Referee and VAR performance was horrible

Brighton got hosed ngl, shocking performance from the refs yet again

That was the most farcical bit of football I’ve ever seen at the end there. Absolute clown show.

What a shitshow

VAR called the ref over for an onfield review when it clearly hit Levi's head

They then gave a freekick to Chelsea when we should have had a corner

Caicedo should have been sent off

What the fuck is this

Most calm Chelsea game

Someone please TLDR the drama. e: thanks all

No normal games. Every official involved in this game, whether on the pitch or in VAR has had an absolute mare.

That VAR no penalty = no corner situation was complete bullshit.

Again this shows its not the system, it's the morons using it.

What the fuck was that VAR drop ball in the end?

I am no longer enjoying being Chaos FC

My heart cant take it.

Somehow they can’t even get the basics right. Ball went off Colwill, long VAR check, somehow that’s a drop ball

Baffling

Will be controversial but I think Pochettino can be very happy with his team. They basically only allowed one proper goalscoring chance to Brighton (who like to have a lot of possession) while playing with 10 men for an hour. They also converted what they should have converted, which is rare for Chelsea.

Also, anyone has any idea why Milner didn't get a red card? If it's a foul, he's the last defender so it has to be DOGSO And therefore a red...

It was clearly off the players face, unsure what the ref saw there.....

Following the BBC Sport minute by minute has shaved a few years off.

Most competent Premier League referees.

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.

is this the kind of shit pl enjoyers watch each week xd

It wasn't a corner because the ref called for a penalty before the ball went out of play. That got overturned, so they gave a drop ball - even though the ball would have obviously gone out of play, the game stopped when the ref blew the whistle.

Is it really a chelsea game if neither side feels exhausted and stressed by the end?

What the fuck was that VAR call?

It hits him in the head, 0 reason to send Pawson to the monitor.

Also WHY THE FUCK DID BRIGHTON NOT GET A CORNER?

Best refereeing performance

Seagull pack

No Drama Chelsea Match Challenge : IMPOSSIBLE

What an end to the game!

We played horribly. Up a man for an entire half and only scored once. Yes, the refereeing was insane, but we have to play better

The pen check + drop ball was one of the most bizarre VAR incidents I've seen.

Pay up Di Zerbi that's what you get for complaining 🤣

That was not a pen at the end obviously, but Colwill got super lucky with his arm up like that

Good game in the end shame it’ll be overshadowed by refs again just like every other game in the past year.

As a Chelsea fan I am embarrassed by our performance and tactics in the second half. Everyone knows that the right response to going down to 10 is playing a high line, getting ripped to shreds, and claiming the moral victory after the game. This was disgraceful #PochOut #It'sNotWhoWeAreMate

I need somebody to post the 'handball' sequence from the end of the match, sounds hilariously bad reffing all round

Even if it was a decision that went in our favour, it's a worrying show of how incompetent VAR and the PGMOL is

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.
