Darren England helped Arsenal win the Premier League, denied Chelsea a chance to win the FA Cup, and contributed to West Ham United's relegation.
● Darren England was the referee in Chelsea's 2–1 defeat to Arsenal and awarded Chelsea no penalties. There were several incidents involving Hato and João Pedro, as well as questionable decisions from set pieces, that Chelsea fans felt warranted penalties.
● Darren England was the VAR official for Arsenal vs West Ham United and was involved in the decision to disallow West Ham's late equaliser for an alleged foul on Raya.
● Darren England also refereed Chelsea’s FA Cup final against Manchester City, where Chelsea were denied three penalty appeals that many supporters believed should have been awarded.
The level of inconsistency in the Premier League last season was unbelievable. It felt as though Arsenal received favourable decisions, while Chelsea were repeatedly on the wrong end of key calls that affected their chances of qualifying for Europe and winning a trophy.
