(Video): MOTD pity for “confused” refs after Chelsea escape penalty punishment

Yesterday’s game between Chelsea and Man U was a tight one, and right from the start felt like a match that could be decided by one goal.

That moment seemed to have come in the first half when Callum Hudson-Odoi appeared to handle the ball in his own box, but after a VAR review the referee still decided to play on.

It was surprising to the commentators and most of the spectators, and on Match of the Day they went into detail on the dire state of the rules and the refereeing right now.

Alan Shearer said he felt sorry for the “confused” refs who have had so many different directives, and we’re starting to agree with him.
