Former Liverpool striker, Michael Owen, has hit out at the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for chalking off Maxwell Cornet’s goal against Chelsea on Saturday
Cornet thought he had won a point for West Ham after smashing a loose ball past Eduoard Mendy.

However, the VAR officials on duty asked referee Andrew Madley to check the pitchside monitor

After analyzing the action that led to the goal, Madley agreed that Bowen fouled Mendy before the ball got to Cornet and ruled out the goal.
