Raging Chelsea stars pushed away from referee and linesmen by Blues coaches in explosive bust-up after VAR stops goal

RAGING Chelsea stars were forced away from officials after protesting their disallowed winner at Aston Villa.

The Blues came from two behind to level the game thanks to Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher.

And the visitor's thought they had won the game at the death after Axel Disasi headed home what looked to be a late winner.

But VAR ruled it out after adjudging that Benoit Badiashile had nudged Diego Carlos in the back illegally in the build-up to the goal.

It denied Chelsea a come-from-behind victory and their players were incensed at full time.

Badiashile and Madueke were fuming with the referee and linesmen following the final whistle and had to be restrained by coaches.

Madueke was evidently still fuming with the decision when probed by the BBC post-match.

He said: "Should it have been three points? Yes."

Madueke, 22, added: "Do I think the goal should have stood? Yes. Nothing else to say about the situation."

Under-fire Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino was equally angry in the aftermath as he told TNT Sports: "Everyone that was watching the game will feel disappointed.

Two different things the referee said it was a foul and disallowed the goal and then going to the VAR to confirm.

"The referee is unbelievable and it's ridiculous. It is difficult to accept, these type of things in the semi-final [FA Cup against Man City] two weeks ago it was handball and it was no penalty, the referee he didn't check it.

"It is painful as it has damaged English football and I think Villa players and their fans didn't understand why the goal was disallowed.

"They said it was foul and if you see the challenge what happened if we go into every single challenge like this it is going to be a foul and we wouldn't finish the game with 11 [players].

"We can talk about the performance or the decision - it is damaging the game. I am calm and it is only to help.

"Now, we have to move on and it will be in the headlines with the disallowed goal."
