Chelsea mock VAR's failure to award a late penalty in their draw at West Ham as they claim Tomas Soucek 'SAVED' Conor Gallagher's goal-bound effort inside the box... despite referee Craig Pawson waving away their appeals

VAR's decision not to intervene after Tomas Soucek appeared to handle the ball late on in West Ham's 1-1 draw with Chelsea has been mocked - on the visiting side's social media account.

Seemingly as incensed as players at - initially - Craig Pawson's decision not to award the penalty on field and then VAR's failure to overturn his call, Chelsea's Twitter account directed a veiled criticism at the referee.

'Soucek makes a great save from Conor Gallagher,' they wrote.

The decision came moments after Tomas Soucek himself thought he had won the game for West Ham - only for VAR to rule out his shovelled effort after Declan Rice was adjudged to have strayed offside when the free-kick was swung in.
