Chelsea have hit out at officials after they were denied a penalty when West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek handled the ball in the area.Conor Gallagher jumped on a loose ball at the edge of the box and rolled a shot towards the bottom corner of the net.
Soucek fell to the ground in an attempt to stop the ball going in - it hit him and the ball deflected wide. VAR looked at the incident and no penalty was given for the visitors who looked to go 2-1 up at the London Stadium.
Officials believed the Czech Republic international was controlling his fall therefore it was not a penalty.After the controversy the Chelsea official Twitter account fumed as they were denied a late penalty.
The account tweeted: "Soucek makes a great save from Conor Gallagher." The game eventually ended 1-1 and it now means it's just one win in seven since the turn of the year for Chelsea, while Potter's record reads five wins, six draws and five defeats from his 16 Premier League games in charge.Chelsea opened the scoring thanks to a goal from on-loan striker Joao Felix.
