Chelsea fans say ‘how is this allowed?’ as referee for huge Tottenham clash is decided

CHELSEA fans were left furious after finding out Anthony Taylor will referee their derby against Tottenham, just two years after officiating a highly controversial clash.

The Blues and Spurs will lock horns in the Premier League on Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And Taylor, 46, will be in charge after overseeing a dramatic 2-2 draw in August 2022 at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea were left incensed at full-time as they claimed both of the North Londoners’ goals should have been disallowed.

Tottenham ace Rodrigo Bentancur appeared to have fouled Kai Havertz in the build-up to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s goal.

And Cristian Romero then appeared to pull Marc Cucurella by the hair as they contested a corner-kick moments before Harry Kane scored as a result of that set-piece.

The West Londoners’ manager at the time Thomas Tuchel even suggested Taylor should NEVER officiate another Chelsea game.

Nevertheless, the Mancunian ref will referee the London clash once more despite a negative reaction from a section of Blues fans.

One fan tweeted: “I sound like a broken record but how is he still allowed to referee our games? Especially what happened couple years ago.”

Another commented: “Why does he get all of our big games? It’s every season.”

A third wrote: “It was fun while it lasted…”

This fan gushed: “FFS!”

And that one said: “Drama loading.”

Taylor is among the Premier League’s most experienced and respected refs having been officiating in the Premier League since 2010.
