This controversial Havertz handball for the Abraham goal vs Albion saw the ball seemingly strike Havrtz’s arm, but VAR reviewed it to be a clean goal. Important decision in the scheme of things because Abraham’s stoppage time goal was an equaliser for Chelsea, who drew 3-3. Some fans said it wasn’t hand ball, while others said handball had been given for less in other instances, and this should’ve been one.
