Crystal Palace's Jordan Ayew speaks out on Thiago Silva decision and VAR after Chelsea loss

Crystal Palace attacker Jordan Ayew has admitted he cannot understand why Thiago Silva was not sent off in Chelsea's 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Having dominated the early stages of proceedings, Palace were infuriated when Silva was shown just a yellow card by referee Chris Kavanagh despite the Brazilian evidently using his arm to prevent Ayew from bearing down on goal. VAR would also then uphold Kavanagh's decision.

The call became increasingly difficult to accept when the former Paris Saint-Germain star assisted Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's equaliser. Ex-Eagles loanee Conor Gallagher would inflict further misery on Patrick Vieira's side when netting a last-gasp winner against his previous club.
