West Ham United’s controversial disallowed goal in their defeat to Chelsea in September has reportedly been identified as one of six major VAR mistakes made in the Premier League so far this season.
In the Hammers’ 2-1 defeat to London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on September 3, David Moyes’ side were harshly denied a point after substitute Maxwel Cornet converted minutes after coming on, following Edouard Mendy spilling the ball when denying Jarrod Bowen.
Following a lengthy VAR check, Australian VAR official Jarred Gillett advised referee Andew Madley to overturn his decision after goalkeeper Mendy went down injured during the move, wrongly denying West Ham of a last-gasp 2-2 draw at the home of the five-time Premier League champions.
