VAR cheated Chelsea again: How is that not a Red Card 😱😱? Watch how Reece James was Stepped On– PGMOL explained why it not red – Not fair for England Referees as they seem to be favouring other clubs to win
At the midpoint of Chelsea’s match against Tottenham Hotspur, the Blues maintain their lead, which they’ve rightfully earned.
Spurs faced an early setback when Lucas Bergvall had to leave the field due to concussion within the opening minutes, and Enzo Maresca’s squad capitalized on this opportunity to dominate proceedings.
Conflict escalates and James takes action
Rodrigo Bentancur commits a foul against Reece James but receives only a yellow card, sparking confrontation.
The atmosphere became increasingly heated as tensions mounted toward the conclusion of the first period. Rodrigo Bentancur executed a harsh challenge on Reece James yet was shown merely a yellow card. This incident triggered a minor confrontation and re-energized the supporters at home.
When the whistle blew for the break, James made an intriguing decision – he assembled all the Chelsea squad members into a single unit rather than having them face the supporters near the tunnel entrance individually.
The players’ exit can be observed in the footage shared by Kieran Gill posted here:
“Something new. Reece James didn’t seem to want Chelsea’s players walking down the tunnel individually at the half-time whistle,” Gill communicated via Tweet.
“He called them all in to him so they could walk in together.”
The upcoming second period promises to be quite compelling – Spurs must elevate their performance, while Chelsea needs to prevent the spectators from rallying behind their rivals. The most effective approach to achieve this is maintaining strong possession – and finding the net once more.
Meanwhile…
Chelsea’s advantage in the match stems from Joao Pedro’s strike, which resulted from exceptional play by Moises Caicedo, who successfully contested three duels to deliver the ball into the Tottenham penalty area.
