Aston Villa 2 Chelsea 2 Post Match Heart Massage.

And Poch

On if he thought their late goal should have stood: "Me and you and everyone in the stadium watching the game. They didn't see a foul on the pitch and then VAR changed the decision of the referee. For me that was a normal challenge. The decision was there and that's it.

"For me it damaged a little bit the Premier League and English [football]. If we want to be the best league in the world it should be protecting the spectacle and the decision. At Wembley for handball was a penalty against Manchester City and the referee didn't check and the VAR didn't advise the referee to see the incident.

"Damaged myself, damaged my team, my players, my fans.

And everyone, really, you think that, really?

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, speaking to TNT Sports: "Everyone that was watching the game will feel disappointed.

"Two different things the referee said it was a foul and disallowed the goal and then going to the VAR to confirm.

"The referee is unbelievable and it's ridiculous. It is difficult to accept, these type of things in the semi-final [FA Cup against Man City] two weeks ago it was handball and it was no penalty, the referee he didn't check it.

"It is painful as it has damaged English football and I think Villa players and their fans didn't understand why the goal was disallowed.

"They said it was foul and if you see the challenge what happened if we go into every single challenge like this it is going to be a foul and we wouldn't finish the game with 11 [players].

"We can talk about the performance or the decision - it is damaging the game."

And finally, James has an extreme solution to what VAR should do to a ref that misses an obvious foul

My issue isn't that a foul is given. My issue is that the ref had a good view in real time and didn't give it. Allowed jubilant celebrations, just for VAR to ruin it. Why didn't he blow up after it happened?

James, London

[KevinGage]

But they're 4th, with a seven point cushion and well placed to dominate English football for the next decade with their smart decisions. So how damaging is it really.

Oh wait.

[Toronto Villa]

It was a foul on Carlos,ifyoudo that in the build up to a goal, it is going’s to get reviewed.

Chelsea the better team, that should have won,they didn’t.

We are tired, its obvious.

Not buying the tired excuse . They just had a week off .

The players were given 2 days off. We’ve played 51 games this season. Chelsea have played many less. Spurs have played 35. We have significant injuries to key players and continued to do so today. That we are also traveling back and forth from Europe, won three massive games in a week last week matters. It makes a huge difference to the players physically and mentally. You don’t think all that adds up?

[darren woolley]

I'll take a point just hope Arsenal beat Spurs.

Must be a Chelsea manager requirement to whine about the ref and exaggerate

Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said Kadeisha Buchanan's red card in the semi-final defeat by Barcelona was the "worst decision in Women's Champions League history".

Buchanan was ordered off for a second yellow card offence as Chelsea were knocked out, losing 2-0 at Stamford Bridge for a 2-1 exit on aggregate.

Hayes said she thought her side - who also conceded a penalty - were "robbed" by referee Iuliana Demetrescu's decisions.

Buchanan's second booking came for a challenge on Patri Guijarro just before the hour mark.

"I didn't think it was a foul, let alone a yellow card," said Hayes.

Chelsea were 1-0 down to Aitana Bonmati's first-half goal but level on aggregate when the red card came out, with the tie in the balance.

Fridolina Rolfo's spot-kick in the 75th minute carried Barcelona through to the 25 May final.

Is this the first game he's watched since the introduction of VAR?

James in London can tongue my cat's anus.

[VillaTim]

This is what they posted earlier.

From the bbc

That draw keeps the door to the top four wide open for Tottenham now.

Spurs are seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa with three games in hand.

Wide open oh do fuck off.

BbC Spurs bias , I'm shocked .

[PaulWinch again]

Pochettino’s comments post game are both childish and wrong. It’s a foul, the ref missed it, that’s what VAR is for. It’s really pretty simple.

[ROBBO]

If the ref had blown immediately it would have not been an issue, it was an easy one to call. They were disappointed but so have we all been at some time in the season.

[PaulWinch again]

They were, but the manager should be able to be an adult.

[remy]

Yes I’m gutted we let them back in it and they almost won but thanks to a fantastic save from Olsen from Palmer and a correct VAR overturning twat referee (like it’s supposed to) but still we salvaged a point from a poor 2nd half but good first half.

We are a bloody good team !

We are 1 win away from beating 17 of 19 premier league sides that INCLUDES current champions and their closest challengers.

They had to change game plan or we’d get another 2 as their original plan wasn’t working.

Having lost Tielmans half way through the first half we now adjust and score a beautiful 2nd.However we missed his eye for a pass 2nd half. Our confidence also shook when Martinez goes off - so now we have to adjust mid game while Chavski pound at our mid section.

With the quality of Gallagher and Palmer I was waiting for at least one goal from them.

Some players didn’t play as well as their normal standards today and were disappointed because the same players were OUTSTANDING against the Arse. They don’t need moving on you hystericals.

The usual media felicitation of chavski was annoying and not unexpected was it.

3 games ago I was expecting 6 out of 9 points - we got 7.

It’s going to be a Herculean task for Spuds to get 9 from Arse, Chavski and the 'The Mighty Reds YNWA'. We’ll regroup and beat the Seagulls.

We went from elation to disappointment to gutted to phew a point.

They went from damn - to yesss to joy rapture and back down to gutted and cry infamy! Waaaaaaah we didn’t get our pre-foul goal (like normal). Suck it up you cheating twats.

Onto Olympikios!

[olaftab]

I blame the full week’s rest. We can’t cope with that.

[olaftab]

I'll take a point just hope Arsenal beat Spurs.

Darren even if it’s a draw another game’s gone and gap is still the same.
