Match of the Day's Alan Shearer provides scathing verdict on VAR following disallowed West Ham goal

Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer provided a scathing verdict on the use of VAR at Stamford Bridge on Saturday where West Ham were denied a late equaliser in their 2-1 defeat against London rivals Chelsea.

The Hammers took the lead just after the hour mark when Michail Antonio tapped home from close range as captain Declan Rice took advantage of poor goalkeeping from Blues stopper Edouard Mendy.

However, finishes from Ben Chilwell and Kai Harvertz turned the game around for the west London outfit before their east London counterparts felt they should have had a valid equaliser from summer signing Maxwell Cornet.
