Mauricio Pochettino cannot digest. On the 35th day of the Premier League, the Argentinian technician and his men came close to the feat. Trailing two goals to zero at the break, the Blues came back to level with the Villans in the second half and could even have won at the finish with a final achievement from Axel Disasi. This was without counting on the intervention of the VAR and the referee to cancel the Frenchman’s goal for a foul by Benoît Badiashile on Diego Carlos at the start of the action. A decision that was not to the taste of the former PSG and Tottenham coach.

“The referee thinks it’s a foul but it’s just a duel. If there is one, then we will not finish any match with eleven. I don’t want to speak ill of the referee, but it’s incredible and ridiculous… VAR is damaging the image of English football.said the Argentinian in a post-match press conference, very frustrated by this point of the draw which does not help the affairs of the London team relegated to 5 units of the European places.
