Halfway the game I thought he would get a low score. His first half was acceptable but still a few issues I saw that I couldn’t agree with. Maybe the fact that after the first half his wrong calls were a 5-0 score in favour of Chelsea could have something to do with this feeling. But in the second half he was excellent. Just 3 wrong calls in that half and a bit more even in those calls. But still Villa end up at the very wrong end of the decisions.

But he got most of the calls correct and got a rather high score and in the important decisions he scored a perfect score in the second half. Always nice to see this especially from an older ref in this time of the season.

But a good final score from the ref in this game in all parts we count and a very high score in the important decisions if we look at the whole game.
