PGMOL ignore VAR error in West Ham v Chelsea despite contacting Arsenal and Brighton for apology

PGMOL have released a statement referring to two refereeing decisions that VAR got wrong over the weekend but didn't include Chelsea's own call.

The Blues were denied a penalty by match referee Craig Pawson in normal time in the last minute of their 1-1 draw with West Ham when Thomas Soucek handled the ball in the area.

The Czech midfielder fell to the ground as the ball hit his hand but Pawson waved play on and wasn't referred to the screen by VAR offiicial Neil Swarbrick. Despite being crowded by players nothing was given and Chelsea had to settle for a point.
