Chelsea clawed back from a two-goal margin against Aston Villa, only to be denied a last-gasp winner by a controversial VAR decision.
After falling behind early to a Marc Cucurella own goal and a Morgan Rogers strike, Chelsea mounted a shocking comeback.
Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher scored to level the match, with Chelsea even thinking they had secured a dramatic late winner through Axel Disasi’s header.
However, VAR intervened, ruling out the goal due to a shove by Benoit Badiashile on Diego Carlos just before the cross.
Despite Chelsea’s protests, the decision stood, leaving the Villa fans relieved as the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
While Villa will feel they let the victory slip away, Chelsea showed resilience, bouncing back from their recent 5-0 defeat to Arsenal.
For Villa, the draw maintains their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, with a seven-point lead over Tottenham.
