Sacking Maresca was a massive mistake‚ says Chelsea legend

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior was furious to learn why VAR had allowed Leeds' equaliser to stand during his post-match interview after Tuesday's disappointing 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. The Blues‚ who had cruised to a two-goal lead through Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer‚ squandered their advantage after conceding twice in six minutes midway through the second half‚ missing the chance to leapfrog Manchester United into fourth place. After Lukas Nmecha halved the deficit for Leeds from the penalty spot‚ Noah Okafor scored a scrappy equaliser to restore parity‚ despite the ball appearing to strike Jayden Bogle in the build-up.
