Chelsea boss Frank Lampard claimed Tottenham's Giovani Lo Celso should have been sent off AFP/Ian KINGTONLONDON: Frank Lampard blasted VAR on Saturday after Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso was not sent off for a"leg breaker" stamp on Cesar Azpilicueta in Chelsea's 2-1 win over Spurs.
"It is not good enough, that is two VARs in two games, it is hard to shout about it when you have lost but today everybody saw that. It is a red," Lampard said. "It was a tackle that endangers a player, saying after that they made a mistake isn't good enough," he said. The latest VAR issue could not overshadow a crucial victory for fourth-placed Chelsea, who ended a four-match winless run to move four points clear of Tottenham in the race to qualify for the Champions League.
Spanish left-back Alonso, back in the starting line-up for the first time since December, doubled Chelsea's lead with a 20-yard drive after half-time."I'm pleased, you always look clever when that comes off and get called an idiot when it doesn't. I'm delighted for them both, they are both experienced lads and it's not easy when they are not playing," Lampard said.
