Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze thought he had given his side the lead with a well-struck free-kick within the opening 15 minutes of their Premier League match away to Chelsea.

But it wasn't to be as VAR intervened and disallowed the goal, much to the surprise of many.

However, it was the correct decision - let the Ask Me Anything team explain why.

Simply, the goal was chalked off because a Palace player was standing too close to the Chelsea wall.
