“Arsenal’s best player” – Several Chelsea fans lash out at match officials after controversial final

Twitter reacts to Anthony Taylor’s poor officiation in the FA Cup final

What should have been a showdown between two London heavyweights was instead another show of the abysmal refereeing standards in England.

Anthony Taylor might as well have turned up in an Arsenal jersey or could have had one underneath for all we know.

The Englishman looked hell-bent on sabotaging our hopes on the night. It came to the fore when he sent Mateo Kovacic off for a tackle that saw Granit Xhaka go down like he had been shot.

Surprisingly, even VAR did not rule out the decision that brought Chelsea down to ten men.

Anthony Taylor single-handedly ruined Chelsea’s FA Cup dreams

It was far from an isolated decision. He refused to give us a number of freekicks while casually ignoring the fact that the Arsenal goalkeeper handled the ball outside his area.

It was the second time in three years that Taylor sent off a Chelsea player in an FA Cup final against Arsenal. He did the same to Victor Moses in 2017.

There is no excuse as to how the Blues played all night. But the one person you would expect in a match is for the match official to turn up.

Several fans took to Twitter to lay into the referee who has come under a lot of heat.
