Antonio Rudiger has accused Everton forward Bernard of diving and claimed the Brazilian should have been sent off for butting him.
The pair were involved in an angry clash during the first half of Sunday's ill-tempered draw at Stamford Bridge.
Referee Kevin Friend showed both players a yellow card but Chelsea defender Rudiger fumed: 'If in England we have VAR then I think Bernard has a problem.
'He was diving and I told him to stand up, and then I was standing and he came with a lot of speed and hit me with his forehead, and I get a yellow card. To me that's a joke.
'The referee didn't see nothing. It was like the fourth official maybe he said something to him, that maybe I provoked him or something. I just said: Stand up.
'I don't even tackle someone or do something and I get booked - for being head butted. Sorry, but that is a joke. Or course that is annoying. But I have to accept it.
'Maybe it would have changed the game and maybe not. But I know one thing for sure, if we had VAR, he is off.'
The flashpoint occurred just before half time when Willian made a clean challenge to dispossess Bernard and left him rolling around on the floor as the game continued.
When Rudiger leaned over and accused him of over-reacting, Bernard sprang to his feet in confrontation and thrust his head towards the Germany international.
It was one of several clashes in a tetchy game. Jorginho was fortunate not to be sent off for a nasty tackle on Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Chelsea dominated the second half and were frustrated to lose ground on Premier League pace-setters Manchester City and Liverpool.
'We are still unbeaten and everything is nice but to me it feels like we have dropped points,' said Rudiger. 'It seems like a loss. If you want to do something important you have to win these kind of games.
'It's like last season, we dropped a lot of points, and at the end we were thinking: 'if only'. But that does not count.
'We failed and now we have the international break and after that Spurs.'
Tottenham can overtake Chelsea if they win the London derby at Wembley when the Premier League returns after the international break.
'We want three points and we will go for it,' said Rudiger. 'For Chelsea fans that is important and that's also good for me as well, but I see it as a professional, and I want to go there and win.'

the referee bottled that case. indeed it was clear foul for Bernard and Willian should have been yellow-carded, instead he didn't receive that foul then Rudigar came to him and told him to stand up! that's clear provocation.

Willian is selfish for not assisting Morata for that chance. He did same against Westham United and we drew for not assisting Morata at the 90+2 minutes so he is just selfish and I think Chelsea need such a selfish player like Willian who even finds it difficult to score whiles he can assist too
you very correct bro he only he had passed that ball Chelsea would have won the game against everton

hahahaha. How embarrassing. 6ft 3 defender going down like that against someone who's 5ft. 4. Pathetic. But I agree, let's bring in VAR so Jorginho & Alonso would be sent off for their challenges.
The same VAR would have sent jorginho off earlier before that incidence

If they had VAR. the Chelsea CM would have seen red and they would have seen Bernard did not headbutt rudiger. Rudiger got rude and got scared when the little guy stood up to him
scared?? Bernard and Richarlison couldn't do anything against rhdiger and you talking of scared 😂 .. how pathetic 😂

We don't have VAR so what you talking about? Remind me of Drogba the way he was rolling around simulating a head injury, pathetic. should be sent off himself.

That all well might be true Rudiger, however VAR would also have shown us a 4 foot Bernard floored a 6 foot Rudiger with a tiny head scrape! Only thing jokey about it

He's right. I know Rudiger ain't the best behaved player on the pitch but you can't book him for getting assaulted wtf is that. Straight red for assaulting a player. Zidane got a red in the most crucial moment in his country's football history for headbytting why does players like Bernard get away with it.... Bias against Chelsea as usual.....
