Blues denied 95th minute winner by controversial VAR call after late fightback

  /  autty

CHELSEA produced an incredible second-half fightback to stun Aston Villa.

The hosts took as two-goal lead into the break thanks to a Marc Cucarella own-goal and in-form Morgan Rodgers' strike.

But despite a dismal 45 minutes from the Blues off the back of a 5-0 demolition by Arsenal, a new side emerged from the dressing rooms.

Noni Madueke pulled pone back to increase the nerves around Villa Park.

And Conor Gallagher added another to a long list of reasons why Chelsea should keep hold of him with a brilliant equaliser.

Robin Olsen produced a brilliant save to deny Cole Palmer a winner but Axel Disasi pounced on a rebound following the resulting corner to stab home what would have been a famous winner.

Unfortunately for the Blues, VAR called for a review over a foul in the build-up and it was chalked off.
