Fans rage over the fact Nicolas Jackson 'got away' with 'deliberately stomping' on Takehiro Tomiyasu during Arsenal's clash with Chelsea

Fans have taken to social media to vent their frustrations over Nicolas Jackson's challenge on Takehiro Tomiyasu. 

They felt Jackson 'got away' with 'deliberately stomping' on Tomiyasu during Arsenal's Premier League clash with Chelsea on Tuesday evening. 

Jackson, 22, was looking to close Tomiyasu down after he bypassed Conor Gallagher in the middle of the pitch but ended up clattering into him. 

However, it was the fact the 22-year-old Chelsea star went diving in with his studs up that frustrated football fans on social media. 

They took to social platforms such as X to question how Jackson got away without a card, with some stating he should have been awarded a yellow 'at least'. 

One fan wrote: 'Thought it was bad, but it also looks quite deliberate.' Another added: 'Ankle breaker and no card? That makes sense'. 

Some fans called out VAR claiming they were 'sleeping' on the job. One furious fan wrote: 'VAR sleeping... terrible.' 

While one supporter tagged the official account of Professional Game Match Officials and said: 'WHAT'S YOUR F***ING EXCUSE?'.

Others felt Chelsea were being show favourtism because Leandro Trossard had been awarded a yellow card for a similar foul.

One fan wrote: 'And yet Trossard gets a yellow for a similar, yet much tamer and less dangerous, tackle.' Another agreed, writing: 'So Trossard gets a card and he doesn't?'.
