Patrick Vieira believes any explanation or apology from football’s authorities after Chelsea defender Thiago Silva escaped a red card against Crystal Palace would be pointless.
Palace were furious last man Silva was only booked in the first half for a deliberate handball which prevented Jordan Ayew from going towards goal.
Referee Chris Kavanagh’s decision was backed up by VAR Stuart Attwell, who deemed that Ayew was a long way from goal and was heading away from it when he picked up the ball after dispossessing Silva.
