Midway through the first half of Chelsea's game with Manchester City, Anthony Taylor awarded City a penalty after Cucurella had adjudged to have tugged on Haaland's shirt in the box. The decision went to VAR, who stuck with Taylor's call.
Reacting to the incident at half-time,Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards said: «It's soft and the Chelsea fans will feel aggrieved, but it's not a clear and obvious mistake.
»When Cucurella initially puts his arm on Haaland, that is fine. But it just carries on. And because it was given on field, I don't think it's a clear and obvious mistake. VAR has to then give the penalty."
