'I think she's made an obvious error' - Pundits disagree with Chelsea disallowed goal
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor said the women's game needs "more respect" as she voiced frustrations at the standard of officiating in their Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg defeat by Arsenal.
The Blues lost 3-1 at the Emirates but had two goals disallowed - the first a controversial decision with Veerle Buurman adjudged to have pushed Laia Codina before heading the ball into the back of the net in the first half.
Had it stood, that would have halved Arsenal's two-goal lead at the time to 2-1, just before half-time.
After Romanian official Alina Pesu blew for a foul, the video assistant referee (VAR) checked the decision but did not find a clear and obvious reason to overturn the original ruling.
