Why Cole Palmer argued with Mauricio Pochettino assistant after Chelsea draw vs Aston Villa

Chelsea's players had to be separated from referee Craig Pawson at full-time as they reacted to Axel Disasi's late winner being disallowed against Aston Villa. Having been 2-0 down in the first half, Mauricio Pochettino's side thought they had completed a stunning fightback in the last minute, only to be denied.

Disasi's header was deemed to have come following a push from Benoit Badiashile on Villa defender Diego Carlos. Having not been given by Pawson originally, he overturned his decision after an on-field review recommended by VAR.

Pochettino was left fuming with the outcome and he wasn't the only person either. At full-time Disasi was quick to confront Pawson as the officials.

Noni Madueke — who sparked the comeback with a fine finish shortly after the break — was also looking to question the man in the middle. Disasi held him back though, shrugging the winger off with his right arm.

Badiashile joined his former Monaco teammate in surrounding Pawson as Blue shirts gathered. Madueke was booked for his involvement but Disasi was keen to go it alone, pushing Badiashile away with his left hand this time.

The denied goalscorer was keen to have his own time in speaking to the referee whilst Badiashile continued to point and stare. Chelsea assistant Jesus Perez was also onto the scene within moments of the game ending.
