Chelsea fans have launched a petition calling for referee Anthony Taylor to be banned from officiating the club’s matches after Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
At the time of filing this report over 40,000 people have signed the petition on change.org.

“Anthony Taylor has continued to make big decisions against Chelsea over the years in big matches. Taylor has an agenda against Chelsea and should not be allowed to referee a game involving the club again,” the petition’s creator alleged.
A series of grievances the creator has against Taylor were highlighted in the petition.
Both goals scored by Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Sunday were included.
Kalidou Koulibaly gave Chelsea the lead with a stunning first-half volley, but Spurs fought back after the break and equalised through Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
After some minutes, Reece James gave Chelsea the lead again.
But Spurs had the final say as Harry Kane headed in a stoppage-time equaliser.
