Chelsea fans have taken to social media to display their anger after they were denied a penalty against Manchester City. <br/><br/>After some big misses by striker Nicolas Jackson, the score remained 0-0 going into the second half. <br/><br/>Mauricio Pochettino's men were awarded a free-kick which Cole Palmer took before it struck the arm of Jack Grealish, who was stood in a three-man wall. <br/><br/>A VAR review followed and after a short delay referee Michael Oliver awarded City a goal-kick, instead of a penalty or a corner. <br/><br/>And Chelsea fans took to X to vent their frustrations, with some claiming it was an 'insane' decision not to award a penalty. <br/><br/>One said: 'That is one of the most insane no-penalty handball decisions I have genuinely ever seen'.<br/><br/>Specsavers wrote: 'Breaking news: Handball now legal at Wembley,' while a third fan added, 'No logical reason not to give this'.<br/><br/>A fourth added: 'I've seen the light var is useless how can you check a handball deflection and then give a goal kick'. <br/><br/>Manchester City went on to book a place in the FA Cup final for the third time in five years after claiming a 1-0 win. <br/><br/>Bernardo Silva struck from close range six minutes from time to ensure City's hope of winning the double stayed intact.
