(Video) Chelsea denied penalty following clear handball by Soucek

Chelsea have taken just one point from West Ham during Saturday afternoon’s Premier League clash in the country’s capital.

The Blues opened the scoring of the match thanks to a close-range goal from loan forward Joao Félix before former full-back Emerson returned to haunt his former club minutes later.

However, as the match approached its final minutes, the Blues felt they should have been awarded a penalty after Tomas Soucek appeared to clearly handle the ball inside his own box.

Despite VAR review of the incident, Stockley Park officials ruled that referee Craig Pawson, who rejected Chelsea’s appeals, had not made a “clear and obvious mistake” and therefore denied the Blues a last-gasp penalty.
