Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, could not hold back his frustration as he lashed out at the match officials after his side was denied a late winner on Saturday, April 27.

Coming off a damaging five-nil pummeling against Arsenal, their worst defeat in a London Derby, the Blues were poised to right their wrongs.

In stoppage time, the West London club appeared to have sealed a dramatic comeback win when Axel Disasi headed in a goal. However, their celebrations were cut short when VAR disallowed the goal.

Replays showed Benoit Badiashile pushing his marker before the ball reached Disasi.
