Norwich defender Timm Klose admits Chelsea's Willian deserved penalty amid VAR controversy: 'I am brutally honest there... I think I caught him'

Norwich defender Timm Klose has admitted he fouled Willian in a decision which ignited Video Assistant Referee controversy as Chelsea were denied a penalty.

Chelsea survived a scare on Wednesday night to advance in the FA Cup, prevailing 5-3 on penalties after a chaotic replay at Stamford Bridge.

Former England captain Alan Shearer, working as a pundit for the BBC, criticised the decision of match referee Graham Scott not to consult VAR Mike Jones over Klose's challenge on Willian early in the first period of extra time. Shearer described VAR as a 'shambles'.
