Chelsea fans have taken to social media to show their anger after their team were denied a penalty against Manchester City.
After some big mistakes from forward Nicolas Jackson, the score remained 0-0 until the second half.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men were awarded a free kick by Cole Palmer before it hit the arm of Jack Grealish, who was standing against a three-man wall.
A VAR review followed and, after a short delay, referee Michael Oliver awarded City a goal kick, rather than a penalty or corner.
And Chelsea fans took to X to express their frustrations, with some claiming it was a “crazy” decision not to award a penalty.

Specsavers wrote: “Breaking news: Handball is now legal at Wembley,” while a third fan added: “There is no logical reason not to give this.”
