Chelsea loanee Callum Hudson-Odoi gets Thomas Tuchel treatment in Champions League controversy

Chelsea cannot escape Anthony Taylor, it seems. Even players leaving on loan have been affected by the referee after Callum Hudson-Odoi's first Bayer Leverkusen goal was chalked out by VAR.

The winger was playing his third Champions League match in a row, starting them all and playing until beyond 80 minutes in each as well, but wasn't able to help his teammates to a second win in Group B, leaving it all to play for after three matches.

Hudson-Odoi, who has had a bright start to life in Germany, is playing consistent football at Leverkusen and is being given the chance to prove himself. In seven matches in all competitions so far he has only notched up the one assist but he is looking much more confident than the player Chelsea saw for large periods last term.
