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.
