“This is just wrong. The VAR and officials of the match were not doing their job. The FA should look into this. The game didn’t go as it is supposed to” – Roberto De Zerbi criticizes the “strange” implementation of VAR after Chelsea’s 3-2 well deserved victory over Brighton.

Mauricio Pochettino criticized the officiating and discussed his halftime message to his 10-man Chelsea team in the eventful 3-2 victory against Brighton.

Despite Enzo Fernandez and Levi Colwill securing a comfortable lead with headers from corners, Conor Gallagher received a red card just before halftime.

Pochettino saw this setback as an “opportunity” and emphasized the team’s chance to demonstrate unity and improvement.

The coach expressed disagreement with referee Craig Pawson’s decision to send off Gallagher and questioned the VAR decisions during the game, describing them as “weird.”

Chelsea is currently trailing ten points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa and eight points behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
