Alan Shearer gives Chelsea vs West Ham VAR verdict amid controversial Edouard Mendy decision

Former striker and football pundit Alan Shearer has slammed VAR official Jared Gillett and referee Andy Madley for a "terrible" decision in Chelsea's win over West Ham on Saturday. It comes as the Hammers had a late equaliser overturned by the officials after a series of checks.

The Blues will have felt relief to hear the final whistle after a tense game where they were far from their best against their London rivals. After a first half without a shot on target, the visitor's took the lead at the hour mark, with Michail Antonio scoring the opener.

Substitute Ben Chilwell changed the game for Thomas Tuchel, scoring the equaliser before assisting Kai Havertz in the 88th minute of the game. David Moyes thought his side grabbed a late point though, with Maxwel Cornet firing home in injury time to trigger scenes of jubilation from those of a Hammers persuasion.
