Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Chelsea teammates left 'shocked' after what happened vs West Ham United

Ruben Loftus-Cheek was left "stunned" after Chelsea were not awarded a late penalty when the ball struck Tomas Soucek's hand in the box.

The Blues were piling the pressure on West Ham United late on at the London Stadium and Conor Gallagher shot from just outside the box and the ball hit Soucek's hand. However, despite VAR taking a look at the incident, it was not deemed to be a foul and the game finished 1-1.

Speaking to Chelsea's official website, Loftus-Cheek said: "We’re all shocked about what we thought was a handball in the closing minutes. I didn’t see much from the bench at the time, but seeing the replay it was clear to me it was a handball for stopping a shot at goal."
