Colwill highlighted a specific incident involving Scott McTominay, who scored twice for United, arguing that McTominay's second goal resulted from a foul on him.

Colwill's Claims of Unfair Treatment

Colwill expressed his frustration, stating, "VAR has something against me right now; I don't know what I've done to them. 

Against Brighton, they tried to give a pen, and then when I got pulled [by McTominay], they didn't give anything," as reported by the Daily Mail. His comments have not yet led to repercussions, but they could attract attention from the FA or Premier League.

Impact on Chelsea and Pochettino

This defeat pressures manager Mauricio Pochettino, especially in a crucial month for Chelsea.
