Premier League have just announced the shocking VAR Error By referees of Manchester City VS Chelsea- Manchester City denied late penalty as Pep Guardiola’s side drop points in title race
The current winners were in second place, two points behind Liverpool, at the start of the day, but they are now in third place.
Liverpool beat Brentford 4-1 earlier on Saturday to put pressure on City. At the same time, Arsenal beat Burnley 5-0 to keep things interesting.
City failed to get all three points, so they had to settle for their fourth season-high tie.
Raheem Sterling broke the tie with a fine finish into the bottom corner after a quick counterattack by Chelsea in the 42nd minute. Sterling was back to haunt his old team.
An ex-City player should have scored a second goal early in the second half, but Ederson saved his close-range shot.
Pep Guardiola’s team kept trying to get back into the game, and as time ran out, Erling Haaland missed a clear chance.
The goal that tied the game for City finally came in the 83rd minute, when Rodri’s strong shot hit Trevoh Chalobah and went into the net.
Then there was the controversy: Colwill touched the ball in extra time, but VAR said it was an accident.
In the middle of the controversy, City failed to create another chance, and Chelsea held on for an important point.
Guardiola’s team is now four points behind Barcelona in the league, but they have a game in hand on Tuesday against Brentford.
