After a contentious Anthony Taylor goal, the FA eventually agreed with Chelsea and decided to punish Manchester City for using VAR to cheat on Chelsea. Todd Boehly, the owner of Chelsea, approved of the idea and plans to implement it TODAY.

Both teams attacked right away in this exciting, action-packed game, but there was drama every step of the way. The most controversial incident occurred during the first half when Taylor’s decision to award City a penalty kick for Marc Cucurella’s foul on Erling Haaland in the vicinity was validated by VAR.

Even though Cucurella’s actions when the ball was whipped into the box seemed to be the main focus of VAR, it looked like both players were tugging at each other’s shirts in the replays. Taylor signaled the spot, and Haaland converted the penalty kick to give City the lead. VAR verified the on-field ruling.

According to Hackett, the decision was maintained since the VAR official deemed the error to be “clear and obvious.” Meanwhile, the 79-year-old believes that phrase should be eliminated since it prevents certain decisions from being undone.

“One of the best referees in the country, Taylor, was decisive in pointing to the spot without hesitation, but I think he needed another look,” he said in a Telegraph article. I believe here is when the VAR becomes problematic.

Although Taylor may not have seen Haaland’s contact, it’s unclear what he saw when he saw Cucurella foul. Taylor should have been informed by the VAR that he required a second look at the incident.
