Chelsea won against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

The win has enhanced the Blues’ chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League this season, while it is a blow for Spurs.

However, the main taking point at the moment is the VAR decision not to send Giovani Lo Celso off.

In the opening minutes of the second half, after the Blues had gone 2-0 up, Lo Celso made a bad tackle on Cesar Azpilicueta.

VAR decided that it was not a red card, although it certainly looked like the Argentine midfielder should have been dismissed for his challenge.

Former Arsenal stars Ian Wright, Ray Parlour and John Hartson have given their take on the incident.
