Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has disagreed with Peter Bankes' decision to rule out Timo Werner ’s goal for Chelsea against Wolves on Saturday. The German striker had put the ball in the back of the net, but the officials decided to disallow it for a foul on defender Romain Saiss.
It was a key decision in the game, happening just before Romelu Lukaku scored a brace at Stamford Bridge. While the home side had a two-goal lead, the visitors struck back through Francisco Trincao and a 97th minute equaliser from Conor Coady.
It means that Thomas Tuchel's men have only registered one win in their last five league games, Discussing the reason for the collapse, the coach said in his press conference: "We invited the counter-attacks and big chances. Once you do this, you lose confidence and invite the opponent to smell that something is possible when it is unnecessary."
