Harry Maguire went unpunished for hauling down Cesar Azpilicueta in the 0-0 stalemate

'The one against Manchester United as of late for us, that conflicts with us, we've asked about the explanations behind that choice,' said Lampard. 'We've been informed that it was a punishment; VAR didn't set aside much effort to take a gander at it. What's more, that conflicts with us and potentially, presumably, lost us two focuses on the day.' Intellectuals and fans were left alarmed at the choice not hand Chelsea the spot kick, with previous star Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank demanding that the episode was '100% a punishment'.

Referee Martin Atkinson did not give the spot kick, nor did VAR Stuart Attwell after review

'On the off chance that you see it from an alternate point, he's simply choking Azpilicueta here and prevents him from bouncing,' Hasselbank said. 'He's putting his weight on his shoulders.' 'I used to watch wrestling however this is a reasonable punishment,' kidded previous United star Patrice Evra. 'I figure we can talk the entire day however it's a reasonable punishment for Chelsea.' Lampard made the disclosure this week after Chelsea were granted two spot kicks against Rennes in the Champions League. The second, for a handball against Dalbert, was a choice many felt to be unforgiving.

'So with VAR and the inconspicuous contrasts we must ensure that VAR is there for an explanation, to get choices right, with hindsight and time, for everybody on an in any event, battleground. 'That was only one that conflicted with us there, and in midweek unquestionably we had one that helped us, yet bigly affected the game.

'I think the handball rule we changed in the Premier League, not being changed in the Champions League and from FIFA it appears, it's a standard that I think generally is hated by any individual who plays, watches or supports football. 'I can't move it in midweek despite the fact that it gives us a punishment and a red card, since it simply doesn't feel right. I imagine that must be taken a gander at in Europe as far as how we push ahead. 'That one goes in support of ourselves, and I believe it's critical to be transparent about that, I referenced it after the game.'
