Cameras pick up the five words furious Mauricio Pochettino said after watching VAR controversially rule out Axel Disasi’s late winner in 2-2 draw with Aston Villa

Mauricio Pochettino appeared to react with five words after Chelsea had a late goal controversially ruled out against Aston Villa. 

The Blues fell behind to a Marc Cucurella‘s early own-goal and Morgan Rogers’ strike just before the break. 

But they fought back strongly and were rewarded when Noni Madueke struck his fourth league goal of the season before Conor Gallagher drew the game level. 

Chelsea thought they had completed an unlikely comeback  when Axel Disasi headed the ball home in the 97th minute.  

However, the jubilant celebrations were stopped short when a VAR review spotted a foul in the build up to the goal.

Benoit Badiashile appeared to shove Diego Carlos in the back as the ball was dropping into the box before he crossed the ball into Disasi for the goal. 

The TNT cameras then panned to Pochettino who had his arms outstretched in protest and he appeared to ask ‘what the f*** is this?’. 

The Argentinian has been under huge scrutiny this week after his side were thrashed 5-0 by London rivals Arsenal in midweek. 

He slammed VAR after the match, claiming it has ‘damaged English football’.  

‘We need to explain this to the people,’ Pochettino said. ‘I don’t want to talk bad about the referee, but it is unbelievable, it’s ridiculous.

‘It is really painful as it has damaged English football, the image, and even Aston Villa players and the fans didn’t understand why.

‘He (the referee) said it was a foul and if you see the challenge, it is a challenge. If every single challenge like this is a foul, we won’t finish with 11 players in any game.’

Pochettino wasn’t the only one incensed by the decision to rule out Disasi’s goal as Noni Madueke had to be dragged away by the coaching staff and his teammates after complaining to referee Craig Pawson. 

The winger was booked for his complaints as tempers boiled over, as he was dragged away from the referee by a number of the club’s coaches as well as his teammates.
