Chelsea fans furious over penalty decision in Ipswich defeat

Chelsea fans were outraged after Ipswich Town were awarded a controversial penalty in their Premier League match on December 30, 2024.

Blues goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen was judged to have fouled Ipswich's Liam Delap in the box, despite minimal contact shown on replays.

Referee John Brooks awarded the penalty, which was upheld by VAR. Delap converted, giving Ipswich a 1-0 lead.

Fans expressed frustration on social media, questioning the decision, with some claiming no contact was made. The Premier League's Match Centre confirmed VAR deemed there was sufficient contact.

Chelsea thought they equalized through Joao Felix, but the goal was ruled offside.

Ipswich later extended their lead, and Chelsea’s defeat left fans upset over the controversial decisions.
