In the Premier League’s Matchweek 22 clash between Chelsea and Brentford, the referee faced a tough call. The Londoners’ striker João Pedro broke the deadlock in the 26th minute.
Details: Initially, the referee ruled out the goal for a possible offside, judging that the Brazilian forward was in an offside position at the moment of Enzo Fernández’s pass. As a result, the goal was not counted.
After a VAR review, the officiating team overturned the decision—offside was not confirmed, and João Pedro’s goal was officially awarded. Chelsea took a 1-0 lead.
As of the 32nd minute, the score remains 1-0 in favor of the Blues.
Reminder: Chelsea is keeping tabs on Barcelona’s young talent Dro Fernandez.
