Antonio Conte Criticises VAR After Willian Booked for Diving in Win over Norwich

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte believes referee Graham Scott, who officiated the Blues' 5-3 penalty win over Norwich City on Wednesday, should have been contacted by the Video Assistant Referee before booking Willian for diving.

Pedro and Alvaro Morata were both booked for diving during the game, which ended 1-1 in normal time after Jamal Lewis' dramatic late equaliser cancelled out Michy Batshuayi's opener, and the pair were subsequently sent off for picking up second yellows in extra time.

It was the incident with Willian at the start of extra time that attracted Conte's attention, though.
