David Preece offers verdict on 'marginal' VAR decision to rule out West Ham equaliser at Chelsea

Former goalkeeper David Preece has labelled the decision to rule out West Ham's equaliser at Chelsea as 'marginal' in his column for the Mail on Sunday.

Hammers summer signing Maxwell Cornet thought he had scored his first goal for the east London club away at their west London rivals, slamming the ball into the roof of the net to equalise for the visitors at Stamford Bridge. Michail Antonio had given David Moyes' side the lead before goals from Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz turned the game around in favour of the hosts.

However, an interference from VAR recommended that referee Andrew Madley check the monitor for a foul from Jarod Bowen on goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the build-up and the goal was eventually ruled out.
