BRIGHTON were left fuming after ANOTHER refereeing decision went against them.
The Seagulls were adamant they should have been awarded a penalty when the ball struck the arm of Christian Pulisic during their match against Chelsea.
However, referee Robert Jones waved play on, while VAR official Chris Kavanagh deemed it not to be a penalty.
Fuming Brighton fans took to Twitter to voice their frustration.
One said: “That’s not a handball on Pulisic? He smacked the ball.”
A second typed: “Blatant handball by Pulisic inside the Chelsea box.”

Fortunately for Brighton, it made little difference as they came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to goals from super subs Danny Welbeck and Julio Enciso.
The controversy involving Brighton comes after they were given an apology by ref body PGMOL.
It came following a mistake by VAR when they decided not to award a penalty when Karou Mitoma was brought down in the area by Pierre Emile Hojbjerg.
