What Peter Walton said before VAR ruled out Marcos Alonso goal amid Chelsea tie with Real Madrid

Peter Walton has sent Chelsea fans into an uproar on social media amid the Blues' highly contested Champions League quarter-final second leg bout with Real Madrid. BT Sports' infamous pundit declared that the west London side's third goal of the evening should stand, despite VAR quickly ruling the goal out.

N'Golo Kante galloped forwards as Real Madrid retreated into their own third before releasing Marcos Alonso, whose initial effort was blocked by Dani Carvajal. The ball ricocheted up into the Chelsea defenders' path before arrowing the ball into the top corner on his weaker foot beyond Thibaut Courtois.

Though the ricochet popped into Alonso's midriff, the Spaniard came into contact with the ball, to which BT Sport's infamous referee expert gave the goal the green light. But, to Chelsea fans' dismay, the goal was quickly ruled out, and a free-kick for handball was awarded to Carlo Ancelotti's side.
