      Ref lost the plot

      BBC feed - enough said on a decision on what the ref should have done at the beginning - Ziyech needs to taken off at half-time before being sent off - a break at last for Chelsea - otherwise only a matter of time before he goes off - bring on alternative forward option for second half

      "This is a mess!

      Having shown Hakim Ziyech a straight red, the referee marches over to the pitchside monitor to look at the incident again.

      Why didn't he do that before showing the red card?

      Incredible. The red card has been overturned by Attwell and Ziyech is coming back on."

    If he gives Ziyech the yellow card he can't go to VAR. If he gives a red then he can look at the monitor.

      “If he gives Ziyech the yellow card he can't go to VAR.” Why can’t VAR intervene for a red card offence after the ref has given a yellow? (If it was a red card offence)
