'We have got away with one there': Joe Cole admits Chelsea were lucky not to concede a penalty at 0-0 against Atletico Madrid after Cesar Azpilicueta pulled back Yannick Carrasco... as Rio Ferdinand labels VAR a 'farce' for not looking at incident

Joe Cole admits Chelsea 'definitely got away with one' after Cesar Azpilicueta was not punished for appearing to pull back Atletico Madrid forward Yannick Carrasco inside the box.

With the score on the night still at 0-0, the Chelsea skipper underhit his back pass to goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, and the Belgium international appeared intent on making the Spaniard pay.

The defender therefore put an arm across Carrasco, who went to ground and pleaded with referee Daniele Orsato for his side to be given a penalty.
