Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze thought he had scored a stunning free kick against Chelsea—only for it to be disallowed. The referee ruled that the ball was moving when struck, violating the rule that a free kick must be stationary at the moment of contact.
While fans were left frustrated, the decision was technically correct. VAR did not intervene, as the incident fell under the referee’s direct jurisdiction.
Eze’s moment of magic may not have counted, but it certainly reminded fans of his quality.
