Aston Villa legend, Gabriel Agbonlahor, believes Chelsea robbed West Ham with the disallowed goal at Stamford Bridge.
According to him, it was getting away with murder for goalkeeper, Édouard Mendy after VAR ruled out West Ham’s last minute equaliser.
It was a day of poor officiating by Premier League referees across England with Virgil van Dijk’s unpunished challenge for stamping on Everton’s Onana, Newcastle’s disallowed goal versus Crystal Palace and West Ham’s equaliser being chalked off.
The referee disallowed Maxwell Cornet’s late effort after Bowen’s one on one with Mendy was deemed as a foul on the Chelsea keeper.
Agbonlahor said that among all the mistakes, it was West Ham’s ruled out goal against Chelsea that stood out as the worst decision of the day.
“The biggest thing for me today that stood out was Mendy getting away with murder for that goal,” he said on talkSPORT.
“Bowen has nowhere to go. It’s a foul from Mendy on Bowen for me, it was a goal for West Ham, they were robbed.
“Chelsea, for me, were very lucky to win today,” he said.

Complete Sports stop publishing news of Agbolahor, please it’s not making any sense because he doesn’t fit to be criticising any team.
Exactly, Mendy was the one that dive towards the player, how do they expect the player to avoid and on rushing goalkeeper. Really crazy week at the Premier league
