Chelsea fans took to social media to lay into Anthony Taylor after his brief check of VAR before sending off Reece James in the first half against Liverpool, with two petitions calling for him to be banned from officiating the Blues' matches garnering 40,000 signatures each.
Thomas Tuchel's men were leading 1-0 just before the break at Anfield thanks to Kai Havertz's earlier header when Sadio Mane's shot hit James - who was on the goalline - bouncing off his right thigh before making contact with his right arm as he then appeared to motion towards the ball with his arm to clear it away.
