Thiago Silva has hit out at Craig Pawson's decision not to award Chelsea a penalty in the last minute of their Premier League clash against West Ham on Saturday. With the score at 1-1 Conor Gallagher hit a left-footed shot that was blocked by Thomas Soucek's hand but no spot-kick was given.
Chelsea's players surrounded Pawson immediately, demanding a penalty be given after Soucek appeared to push it away with an outstretched hand whilst falling to the ground. The VAR check was completed quickly though and Pawson wasn't sent to the monitor either.
It angered many Chelsea fans who felt robbed at not managing to take more from the game having put the ball in the net three times in the first half, two ruled out for offside. Soucek himself thought he'd scored a late winner after Kepa Arrizabalaga's save but that was also chalked off.
