London, UK – Na one serious gbas-gbos dem get for Stamford Bridge as Chelsea take Fulham down for one match wey e get as e be. Fulham for don open score with Josh King first goal, but wahala no wan gree make e stand as dem disallow am. Na wah! The confusion begin as referee Rob Jones dey govern the show with VAR oga Michael Salisbury wey dey press dey make decisions wey dey make people wonder if dem dey watch football or horror film.
Josh King no gree believe when e score for 21st minute, cut inside and blast am inside corner. But as e dey enjoy am, referee call am back, dey watch video like say e wan find ghost. Dem don find foul from Rodrigo Muniz wey step on Trevoh Chalobah foot for build-up. Na so wahala take begin as Jones come announce say no goal. Fulham gaffer Marco Silva no fit hide im vex, say na unbelievable decision wey dem make.
Silva talk say e no dey feel the best to discuss am, but e no fit understand wetin happen. E ask referee during halftime why dem no fit let that goal stand. Him vex say extra time no make sense, saying, “Eight minutes extra time? After first corner, na nine minutes!” E dey talk like say dem dey manipulate the game. Tony Adeyinka (abi na referee like one dem dey catch?) dey near reno!
As the match dey progress, Chelsea comot dem own marvel wey make Fulham feel wetin dem no expect! Joao Pedro head the ball just before halftime wey give Chelsea lead wey dem no expect. Chalobah again no fit escape as him shot blocked by Ryan Sessegnon, for another VAR drama, wey take four minutes before dem decide say na penalty for handball! Na so Enzo Fernandez come double Chelsea lead with that penalty wey still dey cause stumbled for Silva mind!
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher don call VAR “shocking” this season, na wah! Silva no just dey liken the drama to people’s nightmare, because for his eyes, Chelsea penalty dey vex am. E talk say, “Yes, na handball, but wetin about dem fouls wey dem no see?” Make we no go start to complain about VAR, before dem ban football!
For real though, Chelsea do wetin dem suppose do. E seem say dem take advantage of Fulham no fit collect points this time. But Silva talk say e see lyrical dey happen, just like dem do against Brighton and Manchester United before. Na wetin dem call bad luck? Fulham fans no fit forget say dem get talent, just say dem need more luck to turn dem game for next pattern.
As if say life no dey enough drama, na still Chelsea dey hold Jackon’s transfer on hold after him injury. But e no mean say dem go take away im chance to shine! As Chelsea go face Bayern Munich for Champions League, we dey wait to see wetin go happen.
