Chelsea FC’s manager, Enzo Maresca has spoken up about how his side had received an apology from the PGMOL over decisions made in their last fixture.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has voiced his frustrations regarding recent refereeing decisions that didn’t go in the club’s favour, particularly highlighting a controversial incident in a January 4th match against Crystal Palace. Maresca claimed that the PGMOL, the organization responsible for Premier League refereeing, had issued a written apology to Chelsea for a missed penalty call during the game.
In the match, Chelsea’s Pedro Neto was brought down inside the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty, and VAR did not recommend an on-field review. According to Maresca, the PGMOL acknowledged the mistake and apologized to the club.
However, The Athletic has reported that the PGMOL has denied issuing such an apology, casting doubt on the accuracy of Maresca’s statement. This denial has led to confusion and raised questions about whether there was a miscommunication or misunderstanding between Chelsea and the refereeing body.
The PGMOL may now investigate the matter to clarify the situation. As the controversy continues, both Chelsea and the PGMOL could release further statements to resolve the issue. For now, fans and pundits alike are waiting for the next steps in what has become a highly debated topic in the Premier League.
With the matter still unresolved, it remains to be seen how both Chelsea and the PGMOL will address this dispute moving forward.
