That'll teach me. I was 2-1 for Chelsea after making the picks early last week, and then after seeing Spurs lose badly and luckily to Leipzig I thought, surely Mou's gonna go for broke right? So I change the score to 1-2 AND bet on the same team. But Dele Alli didn't start and Moura was slightly off. Damn.
What a day for Giroud to score though.
I think the VAR refs having to make a decision as quick as possible is going to lead to these sorts of things and errors made both ways. It's not like this was deciding a goal or a goal-scoring opportunity though so it's not that big of a deal in my opinion.
Seems like VAR has something against Chelsea this season, my heart almost stopped working when I saw the Giroud goal getting reviewed and from the reaction of Mourinho, I thought it was going to be an offside call since he wasn't worried. Giroud truely deserve the goal he got. Two forgotting players (Giroud and Alonso) saved our ass in the game with two brilliant goals. The constant pressing, attacking and determination to win back lost balls plus complete dominance of the game was applaudable.
I never had any doubt of Chelsea not been able to get something out of the match right from the start of the game. The 86+ minutes was the only time I thought we might settle for a draw but thank goodness, that wasn't the outcome.
Ps: another week wasted on the pool, forgot to drop my prediction. Mistook this week for the previous.
