'Maguire should have been sent off' - Lampard takes issue with VAR following 'clear' red card offense

The Chelsea boss believes Monday's loss to Manchester United would have been a much different game if the defender was dismissed

Frank Lampard blasted VAR on Monday after Harry Maguire was not sent off following a controversial kick-out at Michy Batshuayi.

After battling for a ball that eventually went out of play, Maguire fell to the ground with Batshuayi running in behind him.

The defender then extended his leg, catching the Chelsea striker below the belt right in front of the Chelsea bench.
