🚹🚹Breaking News: “why did the referee not award a penalty for such tackle” Fans are furious and convinced Chelsea should have had a penalty as new angle of Trent Alexander-Arnold challenge emerges.

Chelsea fans are adamant that their team deserved a penalty in their recent Premier League match against Liverpool, following new footage that highlights Trent Alexander-Arnold’s challenge on Jadon Sancho. The incident took place at Anfield during a match where Chelsea aimed for a top-three finish.

The controversy began earlier when Liverpool was awarded a penalty after Chelsea defender Levi Colwill fouled Curtis Jones in the box, allowing Mohamed Salah to score and put Liverpool ahead 1-0. Chelsea supporters grew frustrated when Alexander-Arnold’s challenge on Sancho went unpunished later in the match.

In the second half, Alexander-Arnold tackled Sancho in Liverpool’s penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty. Despite a VAR review, the decision remained unchanged, disappointing Chelsea fans. Many took to social media to express their frustration, with one fan sharing an alternate angle and accusing VAR of not properly checking the incident: “VAR didn’t even check Trent’s foul on Sancho,” they claimed.

The incident sparked heated debates, with some Chelsea fans alleging that Liverpool consistently benefits from VAR decisions. One supporter even referred to “LiVARpool,” suggesting that Liverpool often receives favorable calls. Many drew parallels between Colwill’s penalty on Jones and Alexander-Arnold’s challenge, arguing both incidents warranted similar treatment.

Despite the controversy, Chelsea equalized early in the second half with a goal from Nicolas Jackson. However, Liverpool quickly regained the lead just three minutes later when Salah assisted Jones, making it 2-1.

The match drew mixed reactions from pundits. Leon Osman criticized Chelsea’s defensive organization during his commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, while Gary Neville praised Curtis Jones for his standout performance and pivotal role in Liverpool’s victory.

Although Liverpool won, the debate over the penalty decision continues to frustrate Chelsea fans, many of whom feel they were unjustly denied a crucial spot-kick. This incident has reignited discussions about the consistency of VAR decisions and their impact on critical moments in high-stakes matches.
