Following Chelsea’s draw against Aston Villa, Mauricio Pochettino has criticized VAR, arguing that it has harmed football.

Pochettino was left incensed after two Chelsea goals were ruled out by VAR decisions during the match.

First, Nicolas Jackson’s goal was disallowed for offside, and then Axel Disasi’s late header, which would have completed a stunning comeback for Chelsea, was also overturned after VAR intervention.

Pochettino expressed his frustration, stating that VAR’s decisions not only affected the game but also tarnished the image of the Premier League.

Pochettino and his players were visibly upset, with some receiving bookings for their protests.

Analysts on Match of the Day echoed Pochettino’s sentiments, questioning VAR’s intervention in the match.

They debated whether the decision to disallow the goal was justified and criticized the inconsistency in VAR rulings.
