'It's ruining football!' - Chelsea fans rage VAR rules out controversial goal against Liverpool

Chelsea's game against Liverpool wasn't without controversy as VAR stole the show once again.

After going behind to Trent Alexander-Arnold's effort, the Blues had an opportunity to get themselves back into the game when César Azpilicueta scored from close range.

Unfortunately, after consulting with the team in Stockley Park, his effort was ruled out after Mason Mount was adjudged to be offside in the build-up to the goal.

Like the decision to rule out the goal wasn't annoying enough for Chelsea fans, things were made worse as Liverpool went up the other end of the pitch and doubled their lead through Roberto Firmino.

VAR has certainly attracted all of the headlines during this Premier League season, and whether the call to rule out Azpilicueta's goal was right or wrong, it's certainly sparked some reaction from supporters on social media.

Here's what the Chelsea fans made of the decision to rule out their goal.
