The incident came mid-way through the first half with Chelsea well on top against West London rivals Brentford.
Cole Palmer floated an excellent cross into the box with Sterling racing to get onto the end of it.
The English winger was then seemingly shoved from behind by Mads Roerslev, who made no attempt to play the ball.
The home fans cries went ignored and then VAR too waved off the penalty appeal after a short check.
The Blues huffed and puffed in the first-half without failing to create another clear-cut chance, with Ethan Pinnock then punishing them after an hour.
The huge defender arrived late at the back post to crash home a header just inside the six-yard box and make it 1-0 to Brentford.
