The worry now is Tottenham's game against City is going to be meaningless for them if they can't still finish 4th

Finally saw the Chelsea 'winner.' Clear foul that.

How? Those happen all the time in midfield and nothing is given. Carlos is backing into Badiashile and gets outmuscled. VVD and Maguire do that all the time in the box as well.

The ref had a clear view and gave the goal, only for the VAR room to intervene for no reason with it not being a 'clear & obvious' error. Leave the decision making to the on field ref.

Getting out muscled in a 50/50 duel is different to a shove in the back, and yeah it's obvious that defenders are more protected and given more leeway in games to do this than attackers (let alone goalkeepers.) Is that fair? Maybe not but it'd make most games 7-6 affairs.

VAR felt it hit the threshold for a clear and obvious error and asked the ref to look again, who then overturned it. Seems that VAR worked in this instance.

Other calls not being given doesn't make this one not a foul.

How bad is it that it doesn't matter how many pts the other teams drop, since your team can't seem to win? Like if Arsenal and Man City lose today, it doesn't mean anything for my Reds.
