: Mauricio Pochettino claimed VAR has damaged the Premier League after Chelsea had a late goal controversially disallowed in their dramatic 2-2 draw at Aston Villa on Saturday.
But Chelsea thought they had won it deep into stoppage-time when Villa keeper Robin Olsen turned Axel Disasi’s effort into his own net, however, to Pochettino’s fury, the goal was disallowed for a Benoit Badiashile foul.“They didn’t see a foul on the pitch and then VAR changed the decision of the referee. For me that was a normal challenge.
The draw was a blow to Villa’s hopes of holding off Tottenham in the race to qualify for the Champions League via a top four finish. “We wanted to play Europa League last year and now we have a new challenge which is to play Champions League,“ Emery said. They proved that point by refusing to surrender against a Villa team that flew at them in a vibrant start.In the fourth minute, Lucas Digne poked a low cross into the Chelsea six-yard box, where John McGinn’s scuffed shot was deflected into his own net by Cucurella.
