Jamie Carragher was left "astonished" by Moises Caicedo not being sent off against Tottenham, describing the foul on Pape Sarr as "the most obvious red card you'll see".
Caicedo went over the ball and caught the Spurs midnight on his shin with his studs, but escaped without being shown a yellow card. VAR looked at the incident and agreed with the referee.
Carragher, on Sky Sports commentatory, immediately said: "I was absolutely certain it was going to be a red card. They've got away with a huge one there, Chelsea."
The Premier League released a statement soon after, which read: "The Premier League Match Centre then released the following statement: "VAR checked for a potential red card following a challenge by Caicedo on Sarr and confirmed the referee’s call of no serious foul play."
Expanding on the incident after the game, Carragher said: "[Caicedo] just comes in, nowhere near the ball. To me it seemed like the most obvious red card you'll see.
He added: "I've seen it a couple of time and think 'that's a definite red card, this is him going off and it's going to be 10 vs 11'.
"And then I hear the VAR, and as soon as we hear [that he won't be sent off] me and [commentator] Peter Drury looked at each other in astonishment. I could not believe it."
