Chelsea Fans Fume As VAR Disallows Kai Havertz Goal Despite Being ‘Behind Team-Mate’

Blue Fans were left raging after Kai Havertz’s early goal for Chelsea against Liverpool was ruled out by VAR.

Havertz hit the net after three minutes from a corner following some sloppy defending from Liverpool at Anfield. Thiago Silva hit the post initially and Havertz was on call to thump home the ball on the second attempt.

But the strike was ruled out as the German was deemed to be offside by VAR, although he appeared to be onside when scoring, leading to an outcry of anger from Chelsea fans who insisted Havertz was behind Silva.

The Blues faithful flocked to Twitter to share their fury at the decision that kept the scores equal. Below are some reactions culled by infoexpert24 from Twitter:

@commanderpaul81: What’s the explanation for the Havertz offside I genuinely don’t understand..?

@flairykevin: Footballs being ruined with these stupid rules man, no way Havertz was offside

@TheBlueLioness: I don’t understand how it was offside because Havertz was behind Silva?!

@Dan_ChargedUK: How is that offside?! Milner plays Silva on, and Silva is clearly infront of Havertz.
Just another decision to go Liverpool’s way 🙄

@IanG1878: Love to know how they had the camera angle to find Havertz offside when he’s behind Thiago as the ball is struck, but couldn’t for the Wolves goal at the same end? Dodgy AF

@Kinng_Gulati: Yo someone explain why that Havertz goal was offside
He’s onside in this frame when Silva shoots and before anyone starts Havertz was called offside, not Silva.
