Chelsea 1-1 Norwich City: 5 Talking Points

#2 – Why wasn't the VAR used?

Chelsea v Norwich City - The Emirates FA Cup Third Round Replay

Willian was booked for a 'dive' when there was clear contact and the referee failed to use the VAR to check. He, nor his linesman thought there was contact and they just bluntly decided not to go for the VAR.

The new technology is there for such situations and if it is not used, then what is the use of spending so much on it? Antonio Conte was clearly furious with this and made it clear to the referees before they left the pitch.

Morata and Pedro were booked as well for diving and they both were eventually sent off. While Pedro's was a clear dive, Morata went down way too easily when the Norwich City defender kept his hand on his shoulder.
