Chelsea told they should have had penalty at Man Utd - Lampard

When Cesar Azpilicueta was impeded by Harry Maguire in the box, the Blues should have been awarded a spot kick but saw it overlooked by VAR

Chelsea have been told the decision not to award them a penalty in their 0-0 draw with Manchester United last month was incorrect, Frank Lampard has revealed.

Cesar Azpilicueta was impeded by Harry Maguire as he jumped to meet a cross in the first half at Old Trafford but referee Martin Atkinson did not point to the spot and the VAR upheld his decision.

Chelsea were more fortunate in their 3-0 win over Rennes on Wednesday, as Dalbert was shown a second yellow card for handball after Tammy Abraham's shot ricocheted off the Brazilian defender's leg and up onto his arm.
